*Presented current toroidal merger simulation results at the Cooler meeting. Low energy beam shows good horizontal emittance preservation, but an order of magnitude growth in the vertical emittance. Inclusion of space charge effects results in an order of magnitude growth in the momentum spread. Suggestions for future simulations include increasing the momentum spread in the low energy beam and better separation of the high and low energy beamline sections to better preserve the quality of the high energy beam.
*Increased momentum spread of low energy beam from 3e-4 to 1e-3. Transverse properties are unaffected and the space charge-induced growth of momentum spread is reduced to ~ factor of 3.
*Reduced "flatness" of the initial beam from x:y of 1000:1 to 100:1. Horizontal emittance is unaffected and vertical emittance growth reduced to ~ factor of 1.5.
*Geometry tagging LDRD: trying to understand discrepancy in d1 vs. yield plots for detection of light ion multiplicities and for detection of nuclear remnants.
