Description
One-dimensional measurements are used to infer the four-dimensional phase space density of an accumulated proton beam in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) accelerator. The reconstruction was performed by maximizing the distribution’s entropy subject to the measurement constraints and thus represents the most conservative inference from the data. The reconstructed distribution reproduces the measured profiles down to the noise level, and simulations indicate that the problem is reasonably well constrained. Similar measurements could serve as benchmarks for beam dynamics simulations in the SNS or hadron accelerators.
