Abstract High-power proton linacs seek to operate with low and stable losses. This aspect is carefully evaluated with multi-particle beam dynamics codes during the design stage. However, it is just as important to evaluate the performance of the actual operating linac, which is typically more tedious and complicated when using these same design codes. To improve this situation, we have developed a high-performance, multi-particle online modeling tool, HPSim, with the goal of providing near real-time simulation results for our 800-MeV proton linac at Los Alamos. This presentation will cover the motivation, code features, benefits and applications.
