Funding: This manuscript has been authored by UT-Battelle, LLC, under Contract No. DE-AC0500OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Formed in 2010, the Open XAL accelerator physics software platform was developed through an international collaboration among several facilities to establish it as a standard for accelerator physics software. While active development continues, the project has now matured. This paper presents the current status of the project, a roadmap for continued development and an overview of the project status at each participating facility. |

THPMB037 | Comparing the Transverse Dynamics of the ESS Linac Simulator and the Spallation Neutron Source Linac | 3314 |
|
||
The ESS Linac Simulator (ELS) is the model that will be used at the European Spallation Source ERIC in Lund, Sweden, to simulate the transport of the beam envelope during operations. On August 12th 2015, we had the opportunity to use two hours of beam time in the linac of the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge to benchmark ELS. In this paper we present the results of the transverse dynamics measurements. Such measurements are obtained upon kicking the beam in the medium-energy beam transport (MEBT) and measuring the effect of the oscillation of the beam centroid in 58 beam position monitors (BPMs). The ELS model and these measurements are in agreement with an average discrepancy of 4% in the superconducting section of the accelerator. | ||

THPMB038 | Comparing RF-Cavity Phase-Scan Simulations in the ESS Linac Simulator with Measurements Taken in the Spallation Neutron Source Coupled-Cavity Linac | 3317 |
|
||
The ESS Linac Simulator (ELS) is the model that will be used at the European Spallation Source ERIC in Lund, Sweden, to simulate the transport of the beam envelope for the operations. During the machine restart in August 2015 at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) in Oak Ridge, USA, we were able to perform the first benchmarking studies of the ELS. In this paper, we present the results of the phase-scans performed in four RF cavities of the coupled-cavity linac at SNS compared with the same scans simulated in the ELS. The phase of the cavity was modified while the phase of the beam was recorded in two BPMs downstream from the cavity. This measurement was repeated for four independent cavities and the results are compared here with the model, which favourably reproduces the BPM response to the cavity scans. | ||
