RFQ Field Map Comparisons
• We now have 3 consistent methods of producing field maps for the RFQ:– RFQSIM (from coefficients).– CST (optimised field from August 2009).– Comsol (just finished in time for IPAC’10).
• IPAC’10 RFQ beam dynamics paper: “Integrated Design Method And Beam Dynamics Simulations For The Fets Radiofrequency Quadrupole”
• Needed to compare beam dynamics simulations for all 3 field mapping methods.
• Simulations in GPT to compare CST and Comsol with 2 types of RFQSIM field (approximated and full).
• Vary current between 0-120mA and measure transmission and final energy spread.

Input Conditions• Current variation from 0-120mA; bunch length: 1RF
period; SCtree3D space charge simulates bunched beam.• Using same input distribution as for previous
publications: – xmax = ymax = 2.2mm. – x’max = y’max = 90mrad. rms = rms = 0.25 mm mrad.

Field Map Differences
• Differences between RFQSIM approximated and full fields at 5% level:– Smooth variation of coefficients between
cells.– Full Bessel functions rather than truncated
series.• CST uses maximum mesh density (4,700
points) with 6 RFQ sections (matching section, 2x500mm, 3x1m).
• Comsol uses same vane model but not yet using tangential boundaries.
• All field maps use 0.5mm point spacing (RFQSIM field maps match CST and Comsol, but different from previous simulations).

Preliminary Conclusions
• RFQSIM simple field gives very similar results to old simulations: this is good! Differences probably due to GPT interpolation since point spacing is different.
• RFQSIM simple and full fields also give very similar transmission results:– 92% transmission at 60 mA for both.– Full field expansion gives slightly higher final
energy.
• CST and Comsol also give very similar results, both for transmission and energy. But…

Poor CAD Model Transmission
• CST and Comsol give significantly poorer transmission than RFQSIM for higher beam currents.
• Why the difference? Poor meshing or real RFQ properties?
• Try increasing the field strength by up to 30% to see if we can recover transmision…

Increased Field Strength
02/06/10 Simon Jolly, Imperial College 12
• 10% increase in field strength recovers transmission: we’re back in business!
• Is such an increase feasible in reality? Does it compare to known RFQ’s?
• Not yet sure of the origin of this difference: might be mesh-based, might be real.

Conclusions• Lots of results that make sense (a turn-up for the books!):
– Simple and Full RFQSIM field maps show virtually no difference: slightly better RF capture and acceleration from Full field gives higher final energy.
– CST and Comsol give very similar results: looks like we’re producing the same map through the same method.
• Clear differences between CAD-based methods and RFQSIM:– Field strength nominally correct, since no extra transverse
losses.– Longitudinal fields give problems: poor RF capture and
acceleration.– But we can recover transmission by increasing the field
strength: maybe field is closer to reality?– Longitudinal vane curvature certainly more subtle than
transverse: need better mesh longitudinally.• Perhaps try a single Comsol simulation with very high mesh
density (200mm RFQ sections) and see if transmission improves at 60mA.
• Should we start optimising on “realistic” beam?
