  Recent measurements performed in the framework of the multi-turn extraction (MTE) studies showed a dependence of the position of beamlets obtained by crossing a stable transverse resonance on the total beam intensity. This novel observation has triggered a number of studies aiming at understanding the source of the observed effect. In this paper the results of numerical simulations performed in different conditions are discussed in detail.

  Fixed Field Alternating Gradient accelerators have been realised in recent decades thanks partly to computational power, enabling detailed design and simulation prior to construction. We review the specific challenges of these machines and the range of different codes used to model them including ZGOUBI, OPAL and a number of in-house codes from different institutes. The current status of benchmarking between codes is presented and compared to the results of recent characterisation experiments with a 150 MeV FFAG at KURRI in Japan. Finally, we outline plans toward ever more realistic simulations including space charge, material interactions and more detailed models of various components.

  This presentation should present an overview of efforts for benchmarking and application of space charge codes for rings. After briefly recalling the historical background of the simulation efforts of space charge effects in rings, we will overview the present benchmarking efforts against experimental results.

  For over a decade, Linear Paul Traps (LPT) have been used in the study of accelerator beam dynamics. LPT studies exploit the similarity of the Hamiltonian with that of a beam in a quadrupole channel while having advantages in the flexibility of parameter choice, compactness and low cost. In collaboration with Hiroshima University, LPT research planned at STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK aims to investigate a range of topics including resonance crossing, halo formation, long-term stability studies and space-charge effects. Initially, a conventional quadrupole-based LPT will be built at RAL and used for a variety of experiments. In parallel, a design for a more advanced LPT that incorporates higher order multipoles will be pursued and later constructed. This multipole trap will allow non-linear lattice elements to be simulated and so broaden considerably the range of experiments that can be conducted. These will include the investigation of resonance crossing in non-linear lattices, a more detailed study of halo formation and the effect of detuning with amplitude. In this paper we report on progress made in the project to date and future plans.
