The LIDOS.RFQ.Designer development

The LIDOS.RFQ.Designer code package gives users the possibility to proceed successfully from input data up to RFQ channel design and space-charge-dominated beam simulation. The code's main feature is that it displays the maximum scientific visualization for each calculation step. The package contains codes with three levels of mathematical model complexity. The first-level codes not only make a preliminary choice of the main parameter arrays on the basis of a simplified physical model but also choose the design optimization. The case of high-current CW RFQ radiation purity (minimum of lost particles) is considered as the main optimization criteria. The second-level codes are used for RF field calculations, taking into account the real shape of the RFQ vanes. The third-level codes are based on complex PIC-models that are needed for beam simulation in the chosen channel version.
