This repository contains an accelerator physics model benchmark using data from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) Beam Test Facility (BTF). We utilize PyORBIT, an s-based 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) code developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). We include Python scripts to build a PyORBIT model of the BTF lattice, generate an initial bunch from 2D phase space measurements, track the bunch, and compare to phase space measurements at the lattice exit. The current simulation model reproduces measured 2D phase space projections down to ~1% of the peak density. Modeling assumptions are described in markdown files within the repository and will be described in future publications.
