Description
Xsuite is a Python-based simulation framework for beam dynamics studies in circular accelerators, and is progressively becoming a core tool for several FCC design studies. Recent developments include the implementation of a Particle-in-Cell (PIC) beam-beam interaction model, a module for Intra Beam Scattering (IBS), and native support for wakefield effects. The optics toolkit has also been extended with improved matching capabilities, orbit correction algorithms, and support for modeling lattice imperfections. An interface to MAD-NG has been introduced, enabling, for example, the computation of Non-Linear Resonance Driving Terms. Additionally, spin tracking and polarization estimation are being integrated to support studies related to precision energy calibration.
