	The EVEDA (Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities) phase of the IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) project consists in building, testing and operating a 125 mA/9 MeV prototype accelerator in Rokkasho-Mura (Japan). Because of high beam intensity and power, the different sections of the accelerator (injector, RFQ, MEBT, Superconducting Radio-Frequency linac and HEBT) have been optimized with the twofold objective of minimizing losses along the machine and keeping a good beam quality. Extensive start-to-end multi-particles simulations have been performed to validate the prototype accelerator design. A Monte Carlo error analysis has been carried out to study the effects of misalignments and field variations. In this paper, the results of theses beam dynamics simulations, in terms of beam emittance, halo formation and beam losses, are presented.

The EVEDA (Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities) phase of the IFMIF (International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility) project consists in building, testing and operating a 125 mA/9 MeV prototype accelerator in Rokkasho-Mura (Japan). Because of high beam intensity and power, the different sections of the accelerator (injector, RFQ, MEBT, Superconducting Radio-Frequency linac and HEBT) have been optimized with the twofold objective of minimizing losses along the machine and keeping a good beam quality. Extensive start-to-end multi-particles simulations have been performed to validate the prototype accelerator design. A Monte Carlo error analysis has been carried out to study the effects of misalignments and field variations.
