Geometry / Comments● Beam imparting longitudinal momentum to ions

– Currently, momenta are equal, but ion momentum can be specified in Warp

– Results in non-Gaussian distribution of ions in z plane (see next slides)

● If the gas jet is rotated 45 degrees with respect to the beam, y profile of beam is z profile of jet– Jet thickness introduces some smearing

Profile Comparison● Every proton

present at 1.757 μs (last file before beam ends)

● Bin size = simulation grid size

● Every ion to have ever been within 2.39 < y < 2.50 cm

● Integration window chosen so as to not miss ions (based on ions’ y velocity)

Ion Profile● Ion distribution more closely matches beam (σ = 0.35 cm) closer

to sheet● Still somewhat distorted vertical distribution

Remarks● Realistic beam distribution implemented

– Can be improved by adding transverse momentum

● “Tilted” gas sheet implemented● Daughter products energies not realistic

– Relatively easy fix possible

– Will affect measured vertical profile

● Electrodes affecting ion transverse distributions– Worse match further from beam

– Scan of electrode strengths may shed some light on magnitude of effect

● Space charge of beam is significant; some estimation of effect on ions should be made● By end of simulation (i.e. beam revolution period, 1.83 μs), only half of all ions created

reach 2.5 cm above beam center– Pile up in detector from consecutive turns likely

● Longer simulation needed

– How do we mitigate this?

● Simulation diagnostics may be possible to improve by introducing virtual detector at fixed y– I’ve contacted Jean-Luc Vay, awaiting response
