Abstract
The issue of high-current electron-beam transport in the LIA-5 accelerator is discussed. The results of numerical simulation of beam transport in the 15-m-long LIA-5 accelerator channel are presented. The ASTRA macroparticle (PIC) code and two codes developed at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (a code based on the solution of the Kapchinsky–Vladimirsky system of equations (K–V envelope code) and the UltraSAM code implementing the method of boundary integral equations) are used in this simulation. The experimental data agree closely with the simulation results. The electron-beam envelope is reconstructed based on the experimental luminophore data using the K–V envelope code with a genetic algorithm.
