	Funding: One of the author (R. Dash) would like to thank Department of Atomic Energy, India (DAE) for all kind of assistances and support under DAE Graduate Fellowship Scheme For a high quality beam delivery to the users in application areas like material science and neutron spectroscopy, it is very important for the linac to keep the growth of transverse emittance and self field effects a minimum in order to limit the radioactivity and the cost of the linac itself and increase the transmission efficiency. This paper presents the results of electron beam tracking for a 30 MeV standing wave electron linac. This is a general purpose facility for neutron generation and will produce 10¹²-10¹³ n/sec for measurement of neutron cross-section of (n, gamma), (n, xn) and (n, f) reactions. The effects of input beam size, divergence, field gradient and space charge effect on the beam quality have been studied with ASTRA beam dynamics code. This beam dynamics study explores the optimized beam parameters and beam quality for the linac operation K. Floettmann, ASTRA K. Floettmann, Some basic features of the beam emittance, Phys.
