Recent Developments in Demirci for RFQ Design

Abstract

DEMIRCI software aims to aid RFQ design efforts by making the process easy, fast and accurate. In this report, DEMIRCI 8-term potential results are compared with the results provided by other commercially available simulation software. Computed electric fields are compared to the results from simulations of a recently produced 352 MHz RFQ. Recent developments like the inclusion of space charge effects in DEMIRCI beam dynamics are also discussed. Moreover, further terms are added to 8-term potential to simulate possible vane production errors. The FEM solver was also improved to mesh the cells with errors.
