High-power proton linacs like the 800-MeV LANSCE accelerator typically use a physics-based approach and online single-particle and envelope beam dynamics models to establish nominal set points for operation. However, these models are not good enough to enable immediate transition to high-power operation. Instead, some amount of empirical adjustment is necessary to achieve stable, low beam-loss operation. At Los Alamos, we have been developing a new online model, which employs multiparticle beam dynamics, as a tool for providing more information and insight to the operations staff, especially during this transition to high-power operations. This presentation will discuss some of the advantages and benefits of using this type of tool in the tune-up and operation of a high-power proton linac.

This talk will review current online modeling tools used for proton linacs and then focus on a new approach that marries multi-particle beam dynamics with modern GPU technology to provide pseudo real-time beam information in a control room setting. Benefits to be discussed will include fast turnaround, accurate beam quality prediction, cost efficiency, test bed for new control and operation scheme development and operator training.
