Abstract

The multi-particle code DYNAMION was developed for beam dynamics simulations of complex beam transport lines and accelerating structures. The equations of motion are solved by time integration including three-dimensional external fields and space charge forces. Simulations were performed at the different sections of the new high current injector at GSI: LEBT, 36 MHz RFQ, two IH tanks, stripper section, Alvarez tank and beam line with octupole lenses. New features added to DYNAMION for these calculations are described. After commissioning of the linac, the results of simulations can be compared with beam measurements along the linac. Discrepancies between DYNAMION and other standard simulation codes will be discussed
