Here we report a comparison between the simulation of beam phase-space and profile distributions with diagnostic measurements. TRANSPORT, a particle transport code, was used for the prediction of a 800 MeV proton beam envelope from the end of the linac to the proton radiography (pRad) facility (a total length of 80 meters). The beam profile was mea...

... AND MEASUREMENTS Table 1 summarizes the necessary TRANSPORT input beam phase-space parameters obtained by emittance mea- surements at the end of the linac and as calculated in the previous section. Updated measurements of drift spaces, magnet fields and diagnostics locations were also used. Figure 3 shows calculated beam envelopes using TRANS- PORT. The beam size at the pRad entrance is 2mm radius (2RMS). A few examples of beam profile measurements are shown in Fig. 4. Figure 5 shows measured beam pro- files at diagnostics locations (black dots in solid line) and the predicted envelope (hollow circles in dotted line) ...

The top and bottom graphs represent horizon- tal and vertical profiles along the pRad beamline. Variations of up to 30% were observed between simulation and mea- surements. We used many legacy diagnostics and accurate resolution of each of the diagnostics were unknown. In ad- dition, there might be some analysis error due to low-level signal. Therefore, variation between measurements and pre- dictions at the beginning or at the end of the beamline stands for uncertainty of measurements. ...

The 4 GeV LCLS-II superconducting linac with high repetition beam rate enables the possibility to drive an X-Ray FEL oscillator at harmonic frequencies. Compared to the regular LCLS-II machine setup, the oscillator mode requires a much longer bunch length with a relatively lower current. Also a flat longitudinal phase space distribution is critical...

The inter-digital H-mode drift tube linac (IH-DTL) is widely used as the main component of injectors for medical synchrotrons. This paper describes the beam commissioning of a compact 325 MHz IH-DTL with modified KONUS beam dynamics at Xi'an 200 MeV proton application facility (XiPAF). The IH-DTL is developed by Tsinghua University (THU). This IH-D...
