1. INTRODUCTION
The ESS RFQ has been redesigned to improve its RF stability [1].
The length of the RFQ has been increased from 4 m to 4.5 m and the
output beam energy has been increased from 3 MeV to 3.62 MeV,
improving the beam dynamics in the downstream MEBT and DTL.
To ensure an acceptable output beam quality, the performance of the
RFQ has to be evaluated in presence of different sources of errors.
Those errors include but are not limited to the RFQ machining,
alignment and voltage errors, missteering and mismatch of the input
beam. The effects of those errors on the beam quality can be rather
large. For some of those errors tolerances can be specified only by
running a large number of statistical simulations.
The purpose of this document is to define tolerances on the
considered errors from beam dynamics point of view. The tolerances
from the RF point of view may be different.
2. NOMINAL BEAM DYNAMICS
The nominal beam dynamics assumes the design parameters of the RFQ
[1] with no errors. The assumed input beam parameters and the
resulting output beam parameters are summarized in Tables 1 and 2
respectively. The output beam phase-space projections are plotted
in Figure 1.

Figure 1: RFQ output beam projections (red ellipses contain 99% of
the particles)
With the assumed input beam current, emittance and distribution the
transmission of the accelerated particles is >98% and there is
less than 1% transverse RMS emittance growth. At such a low beam
energy and high beam current the beam dynamics in the RFQ is space
charge dominated.
3. SENSITIVITY STUDY
The nominal beam dynamics presented in Section 3 is based on
certain assumptions concerning the input beam parameters, which are
an educated guess based on a previous experience and needs to be
verified by measurements, when the systems are available.
Meanwhile, to ensure an acceptable performance of the RFQ for input
beam parameters differing from those assumed above, a sensitivity
study has been performed.
3.1 Input beam emittance
The sensitivity of the RFQ output beam emittances and beam
transmission to the input beam RMS emittance is presented in
Figures 2-4. The input beam current is fixed at 70 mA. Dashed lines
in the plots represent design values.
The transverse emittance growth decreases with increasing input
beam emittance due to decreasing space charge forces. Starting from
input beam normalized RMS emittance value of about 0.27 π.mm.mrad
the beam size becomes rather large and the combination of weaker
space charge forces and increasing beam losses reduce the RMS
emittance growth to negative values. The longitudinal RMS emittance
is increasing rather linearly with the increasing input transverse
RMS emittance. For an input transverse normalized RMS emittance of
0.31 π.mm.mrad the beam transmission is reduced by less than 0.5%
with respect to its design value.

3.2 Input beam current
The sensitivity of the RFQ output beam emittances and beam
transmission to the input beam current is presented in Figures 5-7.
Here the input beam transverse normalized emittance is fixed at
0.25 π.mm.mrad. Dashed lines in the plots represent the nominal
case.
For input beam currents of 5-100 mA the transverse RMS emittance
variation is a few per cents, however the 99% transverse emittance
grows linearly with the increasing input beam current. The beam
transmission at 100 mA input beam current is reduced by only 5%.
The output longitudinal RMS emittance is optimum at about 40 mA
input beam current. Its maximum value is 17% higher than at the
nominal input beam current of 70 mA, which results in 8% higher
beam phase spread.

3.3 Vane voltage
The beam transmission and the output RMS emittances as a function
of the vane voltage are presented in Figures 8-9. Dashed lines in
the plots represent the nominal case.
Below approximately 85% of the nominal voltage no particles are
accelerated to an acceptable energy of 3.5 MeV, nonetheless
particles with lower energies and down to the input beam energy of
0.075 MeV can still make through the RFQ. The lower acceptable
energy limit of 3.5 MeV is defined by the downstream DTL energy
acceptance of 3.6 MeV ± 0.2 MeV and considering the energy spread
of the beam of 0.1 MeV. Longitudinal tails start appearing already
at 98% of the nominal voltage. For the vane voltages above the
nominal the beam transmission slightly increases and
plateaus.
The transverse and longitudinal output RMS emittances in Figure 9
are only plotted for the accelerated beam. For vane voltages above
the nominal value the transverse RMS emittance increases, whereas
the longitudinal one decreases as compared to their respective
nominal values. Both transverse and longitudinal RMS emittances
increase rapidly for vane voltages below 94% and 96% of the nominal
value respectively. This is due to weaker focusing forces in both
planes. The largest emittance growth with respect to its nominal
values is about 13% for the transverse plane and about 96% for the
longitudinal one.

4. ERROR STUDY
Different errors in fabrication, assembly, alignment and operation
settings of the RFQ will result in a degraded RFQ performance and
degraded beam quality. Error studies have been performed to define
the tolerances on errors and to ensure acceptable RFQ performance
in the presence of imperfections. The effects of the errors are
evaluated solely from the beam dynamics point of view.
Thirteen different sources of errors are considered in this study,
which represent RFQ machining and alignment errors, vane voltage
error, input beam centre displacement and angle errors and input
beam mismatch. A single error is considered first and its effect on
the beam quality is evaluated. Then the combination of all errors
is considered to ensure an overall acceptable performance of the
RFQ. For each single error series of 500 statistical simulations
were carried out with uniform distribution of the error within
defined range, except for the voltage error, where the distribution
is assumed to be Gaussian. In the case of the combined errors, 1000
statistical simulations were carried out. Several values for the
maximum error have been considered for each error type. The
simulations are done using TraceWin and Toutatis codes [2].
The criteria for evaluating the beam quality are its transmission,
emittance growth, output beam centre displacement and angle as well
as the output beam energy variation. For each single error we
define an acceptable limit for the additional emittance growth of
<2% and additional beam losses of <1% for the 99th percentile
of all the statistical runs. Assuming the considered errors and
their effects are not strongly correlated, with the defined limits
the overall effect of the combination of those errors is expected
to be around 7% additional emittance growth.
NB. All results of the error study are given with respect to the
nominal output beam, i.e. they only represent the additional effect
on a beam parameter on top of the nominal one (e.g. they do not
contain the nominal beam losses or emittance growth).

4.1 Single error
The following single errors (TraceWin notation is used) are
considered in this study:
• Longitudinal vane profile error dR [mm] • Transverse curvature of
the vane d [mm] • Parallel displacement of the vane (see Fig. 10)
DEpa [mm] • Perpendicular displacement of the vane (see Fig. 10)
DEpe [mm] • Parallel tilt of the vane with respect to its centre
(see Fig. 11) TEpa [mm] • Perpendicular (to Fig. 11 plane) tilt of
the vane with respect to its centre TEpe [mm] • Horizontal
displacement of the section (block of four vanes) DSHori [mm] •
Vertical displacement of the section (block of four vanes) DSVerti
[mm] • Horizontal tilt of the section (block of four vanes) TSHori
[mm] • Vertical tilt of the section (block of four vanes) TSVerti
[mm] • Vane voltage jitter error E [%] • Input beam Twiss parameter
[-] and [mm/mrad] mismatch • Input beam centre displacement dx, dy
[mm] and angle dxp, dxy [mrad]
NB. The ESS RFQ consists of five roughly equal sections; therefore
the vane tilt errors TEpa and TEpe are considered over the length
of the section and may be different from section to section.

this error. An acceptable value for this error is ±0.02 mm. For
that error max beam losses are 0.23%; max output beam centre

4.1.3 Vane displacement
Small symmetric displacements of opposite vanes have no significant
effect. They change slightly the quadrupole strength and can be
compensated by slightly increasing the vane voltage. Non- symmetric
displacements, however, generate odd-order multipoles and may have
rather strong effects.
The effects of parallel vane displacement errors on transverse and
longitudinal RMS emittances and beam losses are presented in
Figures 18-20. An acceptable value for this error is ±0.03. For
that error max beam losses are 0.3%; max output beam centre
displacement is ±0.12 mm; max output beam centre angle is ±0.04
mrad; max output beam energy variation is -7.9 keV.

4.1.7 Vane voltage jitter
To the contrary of all the errors considered in this document, the
voltage error jitter is a dynamic error, which varies in time and
cannot be corrected. Therefore, the tolerable effects of this error
should be much smaller then those from static errors. Assuming an
initial RFQ input beam position error of 0.2 mm and 2 mrad, we
define an acceptable limit of ±0.05 mm and ±0.2 mrad for the output
beam centre displacement and angle variation due to the voltage
jitter. We also define as an acceptable limit <1% additional
emittance growth with respect to the nominal output beam and
<0.2% variation in the beam transmission. Since we are looking
at very small effects here, one million macro-particles were used
in the simulations. The effects of the voltage jitter on the output
beam centre position, transverse and longitudinal RMS emittances
and beam losses are presented in Figures 36-38. The data is rather
noisy in some cases; therefore it has been fitted with a linear or
polynomial curve. Based on the above criteria, a maximum acceptable
limit of ±0.5% is defined for the voltage jitter. The output beam
energy variation is negligible for that error.

4.1.8 Input beam position
The effects of the input beam centre displacement and angle in the
horizontal plane are considered together. Their effects on
transverse RMS emittances and beam transmission are presented in
Figures 39-41. The effects are the same for the errors in the
vertical plane. The combined effects of beam position errors in
both planes are more complex since they are correlated. Several
combinations of the input beam centre displacement and angle were
considered. The retained combination of input beam centre position
is a displacement of ±0.2 mm and an angle of ±2 mrad, for which the
results are summarized in Tables 3.

4.1.9 Input beam mismatch
The effects of the input beam Twiss parameter ! and ! variation
(mismatch) in the horizontal plane are considered together. Their
effect on transverse RMS emittances and beam transmission are
presented in Figures 42-44. The effect is the same for the
variation of Twiss parameters in the vertical plane. The combined
effect of those errors in both planes is more complex and makes it
difficult to define an acceptable range. Different combinations of
Twiss parameter variation ranges have been considered. The
acceptable variation range for the input beam Twiss parameters is
0.8<<1.2 and 0.1<<0.12 mm/mrad, which results in ~20%
mismatch in and ~10% mismatch in . The results are summarized in
Table 4. They have no effect on the output beam centre displacement
and angle.

4.2 Combined errors
Series of 1000 statistical simulation were carried out with the
combination of errors discussed above. In order to be compatible
and consistent with vane and section displacement errors,
corresponding tilt errors were reduced despite the fact that higher
values are found to be acceptable as single errors.
The applied errors are summarized in Table 5. All errors are
uniformly distributed within the defined range. The vane voltage
jitter is not considered in the combined errors study. The results
are acceptable from the beam dynamics point of view and are
summarized in Tables 6 and 7.

5. TOLERANCE SPECIFICATIONS
The ESS RFQ tolerances are specified in Table 8 and are based on
the beam dynamics considerations. This does not define tolerances
required for RF field and frequency stability. In case of
differences, the tighter specifications apply. Tolerances on vane
and section tilts are specified tighter then those suggested by the
beam dynamics results for a single error since they have to be
compatible and consistent with displacement errors, which are more
sensitive and therefore tighter.
