The recirculating Superconducting Darmstadt Linear Accelerator S-DALINAC, installed at the institute for nuclear physics (IKP) at the TU Darmstadt, consist of a 10 MeV Injector and a 40 MeV linac. Utilizing two recirculations, the linac could be used up to three times, leading to a maximal energy for nuclear physics experiments of 130 MeV. This recirculating layout makes it pretty complicated to find an accurate setup for the various beam line elements, especially to match the path length of the recirculated beam with the phase of the accelerating fields. Fast online beam dynamics simulations can advantageously assist the operators because they provide a more detailed insight into the actual machine status. In this paper further developments of the moment based simulation tool V-Code enabling it to simulate recirculating machines are presented together with simulation results. |
