Description
Accurate simulation of high‑brightness, high‑intensity hadron beams is essential for the design, commissioning, and optimization of modern accelerators such as the LHC injector complex, the LHC, and future high‑energy machines. Beam dynamics is governed by complex multiparticle effects, including space charge, impedance‑driven instabilities, intrabeam scattering, beam–beam interactions, and beam‑halo losses. Xsuite is a modern, modular framework developed at CERN—implemented primarily in Python—designed to address the challenges posed by simulating these processes. It supports six‑dimensional symplectic tracking with detailed modelling of nonlinearities, field errors, and collective effects; advanced models for space charge, impedance, beam–beam forces, and intrabeam scattering; and particle–matter interactions through its internal scattering engine together with interfaces to FLUKA and Geant4. Designed for high‑performance computing, Xsuite leverages GPU acceleration and massive parallelization to enable large‑scale simulations. This contribution outlines Xsuite’s capabilities and illustrates its application in current and future accelerator projects.
