Abstract:
Light sources of the next generation such as ERLs require minimal beam losses as well as a stable beam position and emittance over the time. Instabilities caused by ion accumulation have to be avoided. In Rostock the tracking code MOEVE PIC Tracking has been developed for the simulation of space charge influenced beam dynamics, which is recently applied for simulations of the interaction beam - e-cloud. In this paper we apply MOEVE PIC Tracking for simulations of the interaction of the ionized residual gas with an electron bunch. We demonstrate numerical results with parameters planned for the ERL BERLinPro.
