Measurements of misalignments of the LANSCE linac lattice elements was performed by the Mechanical Design Engineering Group of the Los Alamos Accelerator Operations and Technology Division. In order to determine effect of misalignment on beam parameters in LANSCE linac, the start-to-end simulations of LANSCE accelerator were performed using Beampath and CST codes including measured displacements of quadrupoles and accelerating tanks. Simulations were done for both H⁺ and H⁻ beams with various beam flavors. Effect of misalignments was compared with those due to beam space charge and distortion of RF field along the channel. Paper presents results of simulation and comparison with experimental data of beam emittance growth along the machine.}}, }
