Description
High-intensity hadron accelerators demand precise modeling of collective effects to ensure beam quality preservation and beam loss mitigation. RF-Track is a versatile, computationally efficient 6D particle tracking code developed to simulate the dynamics of beams under the influence of space charge, wakefields, and scattering effects in complex accelerator layouts, including RFQs, LEBT and MEBT lines. Recent developments have focused on adapting RF-Track for the challenges posed by high-intensity hadron machines. A key advancement is the implementation of intra-beam scattering (IBS), enabling detailed studies of emittance growth and beam halo formation across various beam energies and lattice configurations. The addition of IBS complement the existing space charge and wakefield models, allowing RF-Track to provide accurate and physically comprehensive start-to-end simulations. This contribution will highlight the recent developments, showcase applications to representative hadron beamlines, and discuss the roadmap for RF-Track as a tool for high-brightness hadron beam studies.
