Invited Oral Presentation MC5.D08: High Intensity in Linear Accelerators Space Charge, Halos MC5 : Beam Dynamics and Electromagnetic Fields

Speaker

Kiersten Ruisard (Oak Ridge National Laboratory)

Description

The speaker has experience in the modeling and measurement of high-intensity beams, including the SNS linac and BTF. Dynamics of halo formation and losses in the linac could be discussed. In addition to the unique status of SNS as the premier US intensity-frontier facility, the BTF has unique high dynamic range phase space diagnostics that enable detailed benchmarking of phase space details against numerical modeling (in pyORBIT), making it an ideal facility for code validation of 4D/5D phase space distributions against precision measurements. (The proposed speaker gave a talk on benchmarking in the BTF at ICAP'24.)
