Start-to-end simulations for the proposed Fermilab high intensity proton source

High Intensity Proton Source consisting in an 8 GeV superconducting H-minus linac and transfer line to the Main Injector has been proposed. The primary mission is to increase the intensity of the Fermilab Main Injector for the production of neutrino superbeams. Start-to-end simulations from the RFQ to the stripping foil using the simulation code TRACK (ANL) is presented in this paper. In particular, we will study the impact of jitter errors on the H-minus phase space at the stripping foil.
