	Funding: Research Council of Norway This paper presents a computer program for searching for the optimum shape of an accelerating structure cell by scanning a multidimensional geometry parameter space. For each geometry, RF parameters and peak surface fields are calculated using ACE3P on a remote high-performance computational system. Parameter point selection, mesh generation, result storage and post-analysis are handled by a GUI program running on the user’s workstation. This pa- per describes the program, AcdOptiGui. AcdOptiGui also includes some capability for automatically selecting scan points based on results from earlier simulations, which en- ables rapid optimization of a given parameterized geome- try. The software has previously been used as a part of the design process for accelerating structures for a 500 GeV CLIC.

	The CLIC main beam is accelerated by rf power generated from a high-intensity, low-energy electron drive beam. The accelerating fields are produced in Power Extraction and Transfer Structures, and are strongly dependent on the drive beam bunch distribution, as well as other parameters. We investigate how longitudinal space charge affects the bunch distribution and the corresponding power production, and discuss how the bunch length evolution can affect the main beam. We also describe the development of a Particle-in-Cell space charge solver which was used for the study.

The CLIC main beam is accelerated by rf power generated from a high-intensity, low-energy electron drive beam. The accelerating fields are produced in Power Extraction and Transfer Structures, and are strongly dependent on the drive beam bunch distribution, as well as other parameters. We investigate how longitudinal space charge affects the bunch distribution and the corresponding power production, and discuss how the bunch length evolution can affect the main beam. We also describe the development of a Particle-in-Cell space charge solver which was used for the study.
