A realistic approach to calculate the transport matrix in RF cavities is developed. It is based on joint solution of equations of longitudinal and transverse motion of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field of the linac. This field is a given by distribution (measured or calculated) of the component of the longitudinal electric field on the axis of the linac. New approach is compared with other matrix methods to solve the same problem. The comparison with code ASTRA has been carried out. Complete agreement for tracking results for a TESLA-type cavity is achieved. A corresponding algorithm has been implemented into the MARS15 code.

  The Project-X, a multi-MW proton source, is under development at Fermilab. It enables a Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment via a new beam line pointed to DUSEL in Lead, South Dakota, and a broad suite of rare decay experiments. The facility contains 3-GeV 1-mA CW superconducting linac. In the second stage of about 5% of the H beam is accelerated up to 8 GeV in a 1.3 GHz SRF pulse linac to Recycler/Main Injector. In order to mitigate the problem with the stripping foil heating during injection to the Main Injector, the pulses with higher current are accelerated in CW linac together with 1 mA beam for further acceleration in the pulse linac. The optimal current in the pulse linac is discussed as well as limitations that determine it's selection. A concept design of the pulse linac is described. The lattice design is presented as well as RF stability analysis. The necessity of the HOM couplers is discussed also.
