The simulation of the beam dynamics in the high current Cornell Electron Linac

The Cornell Linac is the initial component of the injector for Cornell Electron Storage Ring operating in multibunch regime. Numerous linac multibunch conditions have been studied at Cornell. The simulation of bunch self-fields presented in this paper must complement the experimental efforts to increase the CESR luminosity and promote the further development of beam control systems. The wakefield effects in the Cornell electron linac are studied here including more realistic details for the linac accelerating sections and creating more correct models to allow the comparison of experimental and simulation results. This simulation includes the effects of beam loading, longitudinal and transverse wakefields from both self-fields and from previous bunches.
