Type: conference-paper
Abstract: BDSIM (Beam Delivery Simulation) is a Monte Carlo particle tracking tool for accelerator beamline modelling. It integrates particle transport with detailed geometry and physics using Geant4 for precise modelling of particle-matter interactions in 3D models of particle accelerators. Primarily for energy deposition studies and beam loss simulations, BDSIM allows a high degree of control and customisation, and is ideal for understanding and enhancing the performance of beamline designs. BDSIM has numerous modelling applications, including high-energy physics facilities, particle detection experiments, synchrotron light sources, medical accelerators, and novel acceleration experiments. Here, we present recent developments of BDSIM. This includes improved custom inverse-Compton scattering processes for laserwire and polarimeter simulations and extending the process to model polarization & electron spin; improved acceleration including transverse focussing in RF elements with implementation of 3D transverse magnetic and electric modes; custom elements for modelling muon cooling channels; and updates to interfacing with Xsuite via improved code couplings and BDSIM distribution methods.
