  In this paper we treat the problem of beam dynamics optimization as a control theory problems. We consider different mathematical model of optimization. The approach to solving optimization problem for charged particle dynamics in accelerators includes: construction of mathematical model of controlled dynamical process; choice of control functions or parameters of optimization; construction of quality functionals, which allow efficient evaluation of various characteristics of examined controlled motion; analytical representation of the functional variations, which allow to construct various methods of optimization for quality functionals; construction of methods and algorithms of optimization. Problem of statement is considered on the pattern of RFQ channel.

  Phase I of the Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility - SARAF is under operation at the Soreq Nuclear Research Center. According to Phase I design specifications, SARAF superconducting linear RF accelerator should yield 2 mA protons and deuterons CW beams at energies up to 4 and 5 MeV, respectively. The status of Phase I main components is reported as well as the beam operation experience accumulated recently. The latter include acceleration of a 1 mA CW protons beam up to 3.5 MeV and 1 mA pulsed, duty cycle of few %, deuterons beam to up to 4.7 MeV. Further planned improvements in the current facility and plans for the future Phase II of the SARAF linac are discussed.

  Spatial homogeneity of a conventional RFQ allows to estimate parameters of the lattice easily. Hybrid-RFQ structures with spatially periodic RFQ lenses are more complicated in respect of beam dynamics. Transverse stability of beam motion is defined by lattice parameters. Basically parameters of RF focusing lattices are influenced by longitudinal emittance of a bunch in contrast to static focusing lattices. The paper presents a method which allows to evaluate parameters of a very wide class of RF and static quadrupole lattices. Transverse acceptance and acceleration rate could be determined. The method is useful to compare Hybrid-RFQ structures with a conventional RFQ.

  In the Linac4 (a part of CERN accelerator complex upgrade), a 3 MeV, 3-meter long, 352 MHz RFQ accelerates a 70 mA H ion beam from source to DTL input energy. RF design and tuning both rely on the same 4-wire transmission model (TLM), which ensures a consistent control of all RF parameters. 3D simulations are used to determine electrical parameters of TLM in the design process. RFQ end-circuits are designed to minimize sensitivity of RFQ voltage profile to perturbations that might occur during operation, and are tuned with quadrupole rods. Slug tuners size and distribution take into account fabrication tolerances and bead-pull measurement constraints. The three 1-meter long RFQ sections are machined and brazed in CERN. RF bead-pull measurements used to estimate RFQ electrical parameters throughout fabrication steps have not revealed any significant departure from expected values. Vacuum ports position is also adjusted prior to braze using RF measurements. Electrical parameters of end-circuits are derived from sets of five linearly independent bead-pull measurements. Slugs are tuned using a closed-loop algorithm, where "command" quantities are tuner positions, "control" quantities are measured fields, and RFQ inverse transfer function is based on the TLM. Tuning convergence and final accuracy will be presented.

  New pre-stripping section (PSS-20) the MILAC heavy ion linear accelerator with the relation of their mass to charge A/q=20 is developed. That will allow to extend considerably a range accelerating ions and to increase intensity of beams. On an initial part of acceleration of ions from 6 keV/u up to 150 keV/u high capture in process of acceleration of the injected ions is provided interdigital (IH) accelerating structure with Radio-Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) focusing. On the second part of acceleration of ions from 150 keV/u up to 1 MeV/u the highest rate of acceleration is created interdigital (IH) accelerating structure with drift tubes. Mathematical modeling geometrical and dynamic characteristics of accelerating structures pre-stripping section PSS-20 is executed. Dynamics of heavy ions in the course of acceleration is optimised.

  A novel 81.5 MHz H-type drift tube (DTL) accelerating structure with rf quadrupoles following RFQ in the new injector I-4 for acceleration ions up to energy about 5 MeV/u for ITEP TWAC facility has been proposed. It is based on a combination of a DTL structure and the resonator with magnetic coupling windows. Computer simulations show that it can provide some advantages in comparison with conventional IH-DTL structure. Results of both electrodynamics and beam dynamics computer simulations of the structure as well as a new approach for beam matching RFQ and the section are presented.
