These simulations include single particle effects (e.g. particle tracking in a magnetic field) as well as collective effects such as space charge (SC), and coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). Using portions of the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA) as the benchmark model, we simulated beam dynamics with three particle tracking codes. The AWA rf photoinjector was benchmarked, primarily to study SC, in ASTRA, GPT, and OPAL-T using a 1 nC beam. A 20° dipole magnet was used to benchmark CSR effects in GPT and OPAL-T by bending a 1nC beam at energies between 2 MeV and 100 MeV. In this paper we present the results, and discuss the similarities and differences between the codes.
