Abstract

The Heavy Ion Fusion Virtual National Laboratory High Current Experiment (HCX) is exploring transport issues such as dynamic aperture, effects of quadrupole rotation, and the effects on the beam of nonideal distribution function, mismatch, and electrons, using one driver-scale 0.2 μC/m, 2–10 μs coasting K+ beam. Two- and three-dimensional simulations are being done, using the particle-in-cell code WARP to study these phenomena. We present results which predict that the dynamic aperture in the electrostatic focusing transport section will be set by particle loss.
