MMFL H+ and H− injectors: Computational studies

Results are reported for a computational study of the output beam of the high-current Moscow Meson Factory (MMF) linac H+ and H− injectors for various ion source operation modes and a variety of accelerating tube optics. Values for the emittance and phase density of the beam at the exit of the accelerating tubes are presented. The possibility of increasing the pulse current and thus the beam brightness with limited emittance growth was investigated. Numerical calculations are compared with experimental data. A computational application for monitoring the beam parameters in television is proposed.
