The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) is a research accelerator designed to operate with extreme space charge. The existence of high-precision experimental measurements of tune, dispersion, chromaticity, response matrix elements, and other parameters, , ** has prompted a revision of the models used to describe the machine. Due to the low energy (10 keV) of the electrons, the dipole and quadrupole magnets used are air-core printed-circuit coils whose fields we calculate using a Biot-Savart solver. Different levels of approximations for the magnetic fields have been developed. We present simulation results from the particle-in-cell code WARP, and from the accelerator code, ELEGANT. These are compared both against simpler models as well as experimental results. The improved modeling has significantly reduced the discrepancies between simulation and experiment. * D.F.

	Funding: Work supported by the U.S. DOE Offices of High Energy Physics and Fusion Energy Sciences and by the U.S. DOD Office of Naval Research and Joint Technology Office. The shift in betatron tunes as a function of space charge has been studied in many accelerators and storage rings. Because of its low operating energy (10 keV, γ = 1.02) and wide range of beam currents (0.6 to 100 mA, corresponding respectively to predicted incoherent tune shifts of 1.2 to 5.2), the University of Maryland electron ring (UMER) provides a unique opportunity to study space charge driven tune shifts over a wide parameter space. Comparisons of predictions and measurements are presented, including a discussion of special factors such as the magnetic penetration of the vacuum chamber walls.
