Description
At the Nuclear Research Center SCK CEN in Belgium, the first phase of the MYRRHA project (an accelerator driven system) is under construction. Included in MYRRHA Phase 1 are a 17 MeV normal conducting injector linac (RFQ + CH cavities) and a super conducting linac (60 single spoke cavities), providing a CW proton beam of 4 mA at 100 MeV.
In this contribution, beam dynamics simulations of the MYRRHA Phase 1 accelerator are compared for four different beam dynamics codes: TRACEWIN, pyORBIT3, DYNAC and pyACCEL. The beam simulation results for a reference case are compared, as well as the computing times. Furthermore, approximations which can be made to speed up the computation times are discussed. These comparisons are made in view of a future on-line deployment of a simulation tool during beam commissioning.
