Beam Simulations for FLUTE, a Linac Based Compact THz Source | |
|
||
FLUTE is a compact accelerator-based THz source in the final design phase at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The design is based on a 7 MeV photo-injector gun, S-band linac with a maximum energy of 50 MeV and a bunch compressor in order to study the production of coherent radiation in the Terahertz frequency range. In this paper comparative simulations of the beam dynamics in FLUTE with different simulation codes are presented. In addition, we show the results of error studies taking into account alignment errors, field errors, rf-errors in amplitude and phase as well as timing errors of the gun laser in order to define tolerable limits in terms of bunch length and longitudinal bunch profile after the bunch compressor. | ||
