abstract = {{Similar to the KV distribution, the Danilov distribution has an elliptical shape and uniform density in the transverse plane and maintains these properties under any linear transport. Efforts are underway at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) to paint a Danilov distribution in the accumulator ring. After the beam has been painted, the level to which it approximates an ideal Danilov distribution must be quantified. One way to do this is to measure the four-dimensional emittance, which is ideally zero due to linear relationships between the phase space variables. To measure this emittance, we will utilize a standard method of reconstructing the covariance matrix using various optics settings in conjunction with beam profile measurements. We present the results of preliminary simulations which aim to optimize this measurement scheme for the SNS Ring to Target Beam Transport (RTBT) line.}},
