Abstract :
ARGUS is a 3-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code that, in addition to full time-dependent PIC capability, supports steady-state calculations using an iterative PIC procedure similar to that used in a conventional gun design code. Examples of ARGUS simulations in LEBT design are presented, including a simulation of a test model for the helical electrostatic quadrupole LEBT being designed at the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider) Laboratory.<>
