  A 3D electromagnetic model of the RF drive module in the LANSCE DTL tank 4 has been developed with the CST MicroWave Studio. The model is explored both with eigensolver and in time domain to evaluate maximal fields in the drive module and RF coupling. Here we describe the model and present simulation results.

  Detailed 3D modeling of the recently commissioned FNAL 4-rod RFQ was performed with the CST Studio Suite. The RFQ model is based on the CAD files used for its fabrication, which are imported in CST Studio. The electromagnetic (EM) analysis was done with MicroWave Studio (MWS) and the beam dynamics modeled with Particle Studio (PS) using the MWS-calculated fields. Realistic matched input CW beam distributions, generated externally with up to 10K particles per RF period and up to 70 RF periods long, are injected in the RFQ for PS simulations. The EM analysis reveals some interesting features of the RFQ fields; their origin and influence on the beam parameters is studied. In particular, the end-gap longitudinal field, which is usually not taken into account when an RFQ is designed with standard codes, can change the output beam energy. Our CST modeling results helped explain and successfully resolve some problems encountered in the FNAL RFQ commissioning. We plan to use a similar approach to evaluate a new 4-rod RFQ that will become a part of an upgraded front end of the LANSCE linac.
