This paper presents a recently modified verion of the 2-D DART code designed to simulate the behavior of a beam of charged particles whose paths are affected by electric and magnetic fields. This code was originally used to design laboratory-scale and full-scale beam direct converters. Since then, its utility has been expanded to allow more general applications. The simulation technique includes space charge, secondary electron effects, and neutral gas ionization. Calculations of electrode placement and energy conversion efficiency are described. Basic operation procedures are given including sample input files and output. 7 refs., 18 figs.

Effects of Linac transverse wakefields are combined with residual eta and partially compressed bunches (presently the SLC design) to place much tighter, current dependent limits on residual eta and eta'. The limits are comparable to or exceed those needed at the SLC final focus. These limits will be difficult to maintain due to present experimental resolution.
