Description
BDSIM is a Monte Carlo particle tracking tool for modelling particle interactions (e.g. losses and energy deposition) in three-dimensional models of particle accelerators. Based upon Geant4, BDSIM is an out-of-the-box, easy-to-use code in which users can build accelerator models with completely customisable and complex geometry, electromagnetic fields, physics processes, biasing, tracking, and outputs, without any need for users to write their own software application. Over twenty years since its initial conception at Royal Holloway, BDSIM today is an internationally recognised and mature code whose developers also include CERN, the University of Manchester, and many other collaborating institutes. This contribution gives an overview of BDSIM, highlighting its applications and successes across a wide range of accelerators and detector experiments, including high-intensity circular and linear colliders, fixed target beamlines, light sources, medical accelerators, novel acceleration schemes, energy recovery linacs, and more. We will set the scene with the capabilities of BDSIM and examples of its usage, and present a long-term view of future developments, including interfacing with beam optics and tracking codes, multi-physics and engineering and ultimately a more complete simulation digital twin.
