Conclusions • The present optimized deflection angle is 20deg. • Beam quality is strongly related to HV. 250kV or higher is desired. • Longer initial bunch (1ns) with lower RF frequency cavities gives better results. • Ballistic compression is the most effective way compressing the bunch at this energy level. • This preliminary simulation has given us confidence of achieving the required beam.
