Abstract :
An optimized injection line for PILAC, the proposed Los Alamos Pion Linac, is presented. With the other optimized components (pion source, accelerator, and high-resolution beamline and spectrometer), the system is capable of delivering 10/sup 9/ 920 MeV pions per second to the target. Issues concerning the linear transport are touched upon, but the emphasis is on the tuning process for the nonlinear elements used for aberration correction. The beam-optics code MARYLIE was used for all nonlinear optimizations and to evaluate the performance of the line. The line was optimized for 380 MeV pions (peak of pion production).<>
