Energy deposition and machinedetector<br />
interface<br />
Was not a problem in the early years<br />
With more beam energy/intensity and superconducting magnets particle losses<br />
due to scattering, collimation system per<strong>for</strong>mance etc. become more critical<br />
Similar type of calculations as with HEP detectors (showers), but need to link it<br />
with beam dynamics in the machine<br />
Interfacing MonteCarlo radiation transport (FLUKA, GEANT4, MCNP, MARS) to<br />
<strong>accelerator</strong> tracking<br />
Examples: STRUCT/MARS at FNAL; FLUKA/SIXTRACK <strong>for</strong> LHC; BDSIM<br />
(standalone GEANT4 based tracking <strong>for</strong> ILC and ATF2)
