Description

The Siam Photon Source II (SPS-II) project is developing a 270-MeV injector linac based on the proven technology of the NanoTerasu facility. This paper presents the beam dynamics simulations and optics matching for the injector linac and the subsequent Low-Energy Beam Transport line (LBT). Particle tracking through the thermionic electron gun, sub-harmonic cavities, and S-band accelerating structures was modeled using PARMELA. Following the linac, the LBT optics were optimized using MAD-X to transport the beam and match the Twiss parameters required at the booster synchrotron injection point. The combined simulation results confirm that the injector linac and LBT provide a well-matched electron beam for injection into the SPS-II booster synchrotron.
