Abstract

The 100 MeV Linac of the Proton Engineering Frontier Project (PEFP) consists of an ion source, a low energy beam transport (LEBT), a 3 MeV radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ), and an 100 MeV drift tube linac (DTL). The DTL is separated into two parts. The first part includes 4 tanks which accelerate 20 mA proton beams up to 20 MeV. The medium energy beam transport (MEBT) follows the 20 MeV accelerator in order to match the proton beams into the next linac as well as to extract and supply 20 MeV proton beams to the user facilities. The second part of the DTL consists of 7 tanks to accelerate proton beams to 100 MeV. This work focuses on an error analysis of the designed 100 MeV linac in order to study the steering magnets which control the beam fluctuations and reduce the potential beam loss.
