MOPWO002	PTCC: New Beam Dynamics Design Code for Linear Accelerators	882
	Y. N. Nour El-Din, T.M. Abuelfadl Cairo University, Giza, Egypt
	Funding: Work supported by the Egyptian Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) No. 953. A fast and accurate beam dynamics design code, named PTCC (Particle Tracking Code in C) is developed to simulate particles dynamic in linear accelerators. PTCC solves the relativistic equations of motion for the macro-particles when subjected to electromagnetic fields excited in RF cavities. The self-fields of the particles are also part of the electromagnetic fields through which the particles are tracked. Self-fields are calculated using a modified 2D cylindrically symmetric mesh based method, making use of beam and field symmetry to provide fast simulation. The code has been benchmarked with the well known code ASTRA which is used mainly in simulations of next generation FEL linacs. PTCC provides a new tool for designing buncher section of linear accelerators that convert DC beam into bunches. New buncher design tool and benchmark results of PTCC with ASTRA are presented.

THPWA001	Design of X-Band Medical Linear Accelerator with Multiple RF Feeds and RF Phase Focusing	3627
	Y. N. Nour El-Din, T.M. Abuelfadl Cairo University, Giza, Egypt
	Funding: Work supported by the Egyptian Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) No. 953. A design of 6 MeV X-band 9.3 GHz medical linear accelerator is presented. It is composed of four separate clusters of accelerating cavities, where a coherent RF excitation is provided separately to each cluster. The use of multiple accelerating sections with multiple RF feeds permits the use of inexpensive RF sources. The first cluster is Alternate Phase Focusing (APF) RF cavities, providing radial and longitudinal beam focusing without the use of heavy and bulky magnets or solenoids. The three other clusters used for acceleration are composed of multiple standing wave sections operating in the Pi-mode. Each section has been designed and optimized for high shunt impedance by means of 2D SUPERFISH code and 3D CST code. A two dimensional code, named PTCC, was developed to facilitate design and analysis of the different parts of the accelerating structure.
