G4beamline Particle Tracking in Matter-dominated Beam Lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The G4beamline program [1] is a useful and steadily improving tool to quickly and easily model beamlines and experimental equipment without user programming. Unlike most accelerator physics codes, it easily handles a wide range of materials and fields, being particularly well suited for the study of muon and neutrino facilities. As it is based on the Geant4 toolkit [2], G4beamline includes most of what is known about the interactions of particles and matter. We are continuing the development of G4beamline to facilitate its use by a larger set of beam line and accelerator developers. It is open source and freely available at http://g4beamline.muonsinc.com.

Using Geant4-based Tools to Simulate a Proton Extraction and Transfer Line
The simulation toolkit GEANT4 has been used to create high-level tools for specific user groups, such as SPENVIS in space physics and GATE in medical imaging. In Accelerator Physics, comparable efforts are being devoted to develop general-purpose programs for simulating beam lines and accelerators, allowing access to Geant4’s facilities for 3D geometry, tracking, and interactions in matter with...
متن کاملMass loss by a scalar charge in an expanding universe
We study the phenomenon of mass loss by a scalar charge—a point particle that acts as a source for a noninteracting scalar field—in an expanding universe. The charge is placed on comoving world lines of two cosmological spacetimes: a de Sitter universe, and a spatially flat, matter-dominated universe. In both cases, we find that the particle’s rest mass is not a constant, but that it changes in...
متن کاملParticle tracking in the ILC extraction lines with DIMAD and BDSIM
The study of beam transport is of central importance to the design and performance assessment of modern particle accelerators. In this paper, we benchmark two contemporary codes, DIMAD and BDSIM, the latter being a relatively new tracking code built within the framework of GEANT4. We consider both the 20 mrad and 2 mrad extraction lines of the 500 GeV International Linear Collider (ILC) and we ...

متن کاملFast Algorithms for the Tracking of Electron Beams∗
The simulation of the motion of a particle beam in linear colliders requires fast and robust numerical algorithms. The following approach to simulate the effect of nonlinear space charge forces on the dynamics of space charge dominated electron beams has been realized in the tracking code Q [9]. The related tracking algorithm has to solve the relativistic equations of motion for a large number ...
