Dp. Grote et al., 3-DIMENSIONAL SIMULATIONS OF HIGH-CURRENT BEAMS IN INDUCTION ACCELERATORS WITH WARP3D, Fusion engineering and design, 32-3, 1996, pp. 193-200
For many issues relevant to acceleration and propagation of heavy ion
beams for inertial confinement fusion, understanding the behavior of t
he beam requires the self-consistent inclusion of the self-fields of t
he beams in multiple dimensions. For these reasons, the three-dimensio
nal simulation code WARP3d was developed. The code combines the In thi
s paper the general structure of the code is reviewed and details of t
wo ongoing applications are presented along with a discussion of simul
ation techniques used. The most important results of this work are pre
sented.
