Abstract
Several beam dynamics codes are used in the design of the next generation of high beam power accelerators. They are all capable of simulating the full six-dimensional motion through a machine lattice in the presence of strong space-charge effect and beam-to-wall interaction. A key issue is the validation of these codes. This is usually accomplished by comparing simulation results against available theories, and more importantly, against experimental observations. To this aim, a number of well-defined test cases, obtained by accurate measurements made in existing machines, are of high interest. This paper reports and discusses precise measurements of transverse emittance blow-up due to space-charge induced crossing of the integer or half-integer stop band.
