Funding: Work supported by DFG under contract SFB 634. The Superconducting Linear Accelerator S-DALINAC installed at the institute of nuclear physics (IKP) at TU Darmstadt is designed as a re-circulating linear accelerator. The length of the beam line and the numerous accelerating structures as well as dipole and quadrupole magnets require a highly efficient numerical simulation tool in order to assist the operators by providing a detailed and almost instantaneous insight into the actual machine status. A suitable approach which enables a fast online calculation of the beam dynamics is given by the so-called moment approach where the particle distribution is represented by means of a discrete set of moments or by multiple discrete sets of moments in a multi-ensemble environment. Following this approach the V-Code simulation tool has been implemented at the Computational Electromagnetics Laboratory (TEMF) at TU Darmstadt. In this contribution an overview of the numerical model is presented together with new V-Code simulation results regarding the S-DALINAC recirculation sections. |
