Description

Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a Monte Carlo program (written in C++ ) that creates a 3D radiation transport model designed for the simulation of accelerators and beamline modelling. BDSIM uses Geant4 for precise particle-matter interactions combined with particle-tracking through 3D geometries of accelerators and their environments. All particle species are tracked, allowing for studies for collimation, beam losses, secondary radiation generation, and dosimetry. BDSIM allows for detailed customisation, with numerous applications in the design of high-energy physics facilities, medical beamlines, particle detection experiments, and novel acceleration experiments. Recent developments to BDSIM are presented, including; updated BDSIM deployment methods, development of regression testing, coupling between Xsuite, RF-track and bdsim, updates to the muon cooling modelling, updates to medical modelling for loading DICOM files, applications of BDSIM for FCC-ee, and general updates including optical physics examples. Information on the formation of the BDSIM collaboration community are also detailed.
