Reconstruction of Beam Transverse Parameters in the Fermilab Side-Coupled Linac Using a Normalized Coordinate Framework

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: Quadrupole scans are a commonly used tool for beam second moment reconstruction. Limitations in the strength of the magnets and layout of the beamline elements frequently preclude simple quadrupole-drift-detector scans from collecting sufficient data for reconstruction. Using a normalized coordinate framework, we characterize the prerequisites for a robust simple quadrupole scan and expand these prerequisites to reconstruction from more complex optics. The beam second moments are investigated at two locations in the Fermilab Side-Coupled Linac under simple and complex optics, using this framework to maximize information gained from wire scanner profile measurements.
