LEADS-DC: A computer code for intense dc beam nonlinear transport simulation

An intense dc beam nonlinear transport code has been developed. The code is written in Visual FORTRAN 6.6 and has similar to 13000 lines. The particle distribution in the transverse cross section is uniform or Gaussian. The space charge forces are calculated by the PIC (particle in cell) scheme, and the effects of the applied fields on the particle motion are calculated with the Lie algebraic method through the third order approximation. Obviously, the solutions to the equations of particle motion are self-consistent. The results obtained from the theoretical analysis have been put in the computer code. Many optical beam elements are contained in the code. So, the code can simulate the intense de particle motions in the beam transport lines, high voltage dc accelerators and ion implanters.
