Description
The Xsuite framework offers a modern environment for high-performance accelerator physics simulations. Its Xcoll module handles particle-collimator interactions using dedicated scattering routines, both built-in and external. FLUKA, a well-established Monte Carlo code, can be coupled to Xcoll, enabling detailed modelling of particle-matter interactions and support for complex geometries. This paper presents the status of the Xcoll-FLUKA interface, which provides a consistent and
efficient link between deterministic beam tracking and Monte Carlo simulations. The new setup builds upon the experience gained with the previous SixTrack-FLUKA coupling, introducing a more user-friendly design and significant improvements in data exchange, modularity, and extensibility within the Xsuite architecture. Recent developments include a new filtering algorithm that improves simulation speed,
a versatile definition of bent crystals, support for simplified collimator geometries represented as plain blocks of material, and an enhanced beam-beam interaction routine. These advancements represent an important step toward a flexible and performant framework for collimation and background studies in present and future accelerators.
