We plan to demonstrate the injection of a self-consistent beam into the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). Self-consistent beams are defined to be ellipsoidal distributions with uniform density and to retain these properties under all linear transformations. Self-consistent distributions may generate very little halo if realized in practice. Some may also be manipulated to generate flat beams. Self-consistent distributions involve very special relationships between the phase space coordinates, making them difficult to realize experimentally. One self-consistent distribution, the 2D rotating distribution, can be painted into the SNS ring, with slight modification of the lattice. However, it is unknown how robust self-consistent distributions will be under real world transport in the presence of nonlinearities and other collective effects. This paper studies these issues and the mitigation of unwanted effects by applying realistic detailed computational models to the simulation of the injection of rotating beams into SNS. The result is a feasible prescription for the injection of a rotating self-consistent distribution into the SNS ring.
