	S.S. Kurennoy LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
	The CST Studio provides convenient tools for self-consistent 3D modeling of accelerators, even large ones. Here we demonstrate this approach for the LANSCE drift-tube linac (DTL) taken as an example. The RF fields in 3D models of full DTL tanks are calculated and tuned with MicroWave Studio (MWS). Beam dynamics in the DTL is modeled with Particle Studio for bunches and bunch trains with realistic initial beam distributions using the MWS-calculated RF fields and quadrupole magnetic fields. The output beam parameters and locations of particle losses are calculated and compared for different beam distributions. Our main emphasis is on the formation of low-energy tails (longitudinal halo) and their interaction with regular bunches. Such effects are usually not taken into account in standard multi-particle phase-space codes.

MOPOR043	High-gradient Structures for Proton Energy Boosters	692
	S.S. Kurennoy, L. Rybarcyk LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
	Increasing energy of proton beam at LANSCE from 800 MeV to 3 GeV can improve radiography resolution ~10 times. The best current practice to achieve this energy boost is to employ superconducting (SC) RF cavities with gradients about 15 MV/m after the existing linac, which results in a long and expensive booster. We propose accomplishing the same with a room-sized booster based on high-gradient (100s MV/m) room-temperature RF accelerating structures operating at low duty factors. Such high-gradient (HG) structures at very high RF frequencies have been demonstrated for electrons. However, they have never been used for protons because typical RF wavelengths are smaller than the proton bunch length. This is not a problem for proton radiography (pRad): a train of very short proton bunches with the same total length (10s ps) and charge as the original proton bunch will work as well, i.e., will create one radiography frame. Such a compact HG pRad booster can also be about an order of magnitude cheaper than the SC one. We explore feasibility of HG structures for protons and their application for a compact pRad booster at LANSCE.

Increasing energy of proton beam at LANSCE from 800 MeV to 3 GeV can improve radiography resolution ~10 times. The best current practice to achieve this energy boost is to employ superconducting (SC) RF cavities with gradients about 15 MV/m after the existing linac, which results in a long and expensive booster. We propose accomplishing the same with a room-sized booster based on high-gradient (100s MV/m) room-temperature RF accelerating structures operating at low duty factors. Such high-gradient (HG) structures at very high RF frequencies have been demonstrated for electrons. However, they have never been used for protons because typical RF wavelengths are smaller than the proton bunch length. This is not a problem for proton radiography (pRad): a train of very short proton bunches with the same total length (10s ps) and charge as the original proton bunch will work as well, i.e., will create one radiography frame. Such a compact HG pRad booster can also be about an order of magnitude cheaper than the SC one. We explore feasibility of HG structures for protons and their application for a compact pRad booster at LANSCE.
