Description

This invited talk presents the current status and recent developments of RF-Track, a 6D macroparticle tracking code with modelling capabilities tailored to high-intensity injectors and linac-driven facilities. RF-Track targets machines operating at high brightness, high peak current, or high average power, where emittance preservation, halo control, and collective effects ultimately determine performance. RF-Track is currently being used across a broad range of industrial, research and academic accelerator programmes worldwide, including electron medical linacs, high-intensity photo-injectors for compact X-ray sources based on inverse Compton scattering, FEL injector and linac optimisation and advanced accelerator concepts. In the context of future high-energy collider projects, RF-Track is instrumental in designing the FCC-ee and CLIC injectors, for which stringent requirements regarding beam quality, multi-bunch stability and collective-effect mitigation are paramount. This presentation will review the code's latest development including benchmarking against analytical models and experimental results, and some of its main applications.
