Abstract
The Particle in cell (PIC) method is one of the key techniques in the research of charged particles in accelerators. Based on the PIC method, a new beam simulation code for high intensity beam named TOPOPIC (Trace of particle orbit with PIC method) has been developed. With the code TOPOPIC,the beam behavior during passing through the periodic quadrupole (FODO) structure has been studied. The results show that the nonlinear space charge affects the single particle behavior and beam envelope a lot. At last, the PIC code BEAMPATH is used for benchmark, the results given by TOPOPIC and BEAMPATH show good agreements,which means the code TOPOPIC is reliable.
