Description

Beam breakup instability (BBU) is an important factor dominate the design of induction cell for high intensity linear induction accelerator. In this study, we optimize a magnetic tune for a conceptual induction accelerator. By using BREAKUP code and optimization algorithm, we estimate how BBU would affect the final beam spot size.
