Path Simulations of the LINAC2 Transfer Line

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the transverse emittance growth in a beam line in presence of space charge, dispersion and energy spread. The Transfer Line of the Linac2 has been taken as an example, as measurement to confirm might be possible. In the original design, the dispersion has a very low value; the dispersion has been increased varying the quadrupoles between the bending magnets. Finally the bending magnets have been removed, nullifying the dispersion. In order to investigate the influence of the energy spread, the gap voltage and phase have been changed, observing the emittance growth after the BHZ30.
