The LEBT design includes MHz frequency chopping of the partially neutralized H⁻ beam that can potentially lead to beam instabilities. We report results of numerical modeling using the parallel Vorpal framework for 3D electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) to simulate H⁻ beam dynamics in the LEBT, over multiple chopping events. We detail how the addition of a positively biased potential barrier near the entrance of the chopper can improve LEBT performance by eliminating chopper-induced emittance increases over many chopping events.

A solenoid-based low-energy beam transport (LEBT) subsystem is under development for the H⁻ linac front end of the Spallation Neutron Source. The LEBT design includes MHz frequency chopping of the partially neutralized H⁻ beam that can potentially lead to beam instabilities. We report results of numerical modeling using the parallel Vorpal framework for 3D electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) to simulate H⁻ beam dynamics in the LEBT, over multiple chopping events. We detail how the addition of a positively biased potential barrier near the entrance of the chopper can improve LEBT performance by eliminating chopper-induced emittance increases over many chopping events.
