Funding: U.S. Department of Energy The traditional linear envelope tracking model is widely used in linac design and on-line tuning. However, for multi-charge state acceleration situation, where the transfer matrix is different between charge-states, the linear envelope tracking model cannot be utilized. A direct way to handle multi-charge state acceleration is using multi-particle tracking, which is usually high in precision, but lack in efficiency, therefore is not suitable for linac on-line beam tuning. In this paper, a new approach of adapting linear envelope tracking model onto multi-charge state acceleration situation is proposed. The lattice of FRIB is used to test the scheme in both linac segment and folding segment. And the result is then benchmarked with a multi-particle tracking program IMPACT to ensure its precision with enhancement in efficiency. |
