EMMA is the first non-scaling FFAG to be constructed, whose use of linear magnets means that the accelerating electron bunch rapidly crosses many resonances. We have modeled the capture and acceleration of bunches in the serpentine channel created by the radio-frequency cavities, and compare it to a proposed experiment in which induction cells allow slow acceleration. Two induction cores each providing ~20kV over 1.65 μs enable a number of resonance crossing experiments.

  We present recent developments in the MERLIN particle tracking simulation code, originally developed at DESY. Their use is illustrated by studies of the LHC collimation system. We make detailed comparisons of our results with those of other codes, and also, where possible, with the data. Different beam optics designs are studied, and the effect of new collimator materials for different upgrade scenarios is predicted.
