More and more, computations are playing an important role in the theory and
design of high intensities linacs and transfert lines. In this context, the
CEA/Saclay has been and is involved in several High power particle accelerator
projects (SNS, ESS, IFMIF, EURISOL, SPL) and high intensity injectors (IPHI,
SPIRAL2, LEDA, FAIR). Other the past years, several codes have been developed to
design and simulate these accelerators from the extraction system of the ion
source to the target. Depending on the energy range, different codes can be used
as it is described in the figure below :
*means that only the extraction system can be simulated in case of the image
effects are negligible. The plasma in the chamber is not simulated.
Since 2009, the most of these codes became sharewares (only the particle plotter
PlotWin is still free). To know more about each code (features, download links,
evaluation and purchasing option), please use the menu at the top.
