Concerning the activity "High performance beam simulation tools”:
This work concerns in particular a collaboration with A. Oeftiger from GSI, in which we work on the benchmarking and development of simulation tools for high intensity effects such as space charge. In this framework, we have been working on 
a) the development of space charge modules directly for Sixtracklib (tracking tool) and for a combination of PyHEADTAIL (collective effects simulations) with Sixtracklib, 
b) optimizing the simulation speed for high-performance computing architectures 
c) a study of space charge induced resonances in the SIS100

Future plans include to establish a detailed PIC model of the SPS, to develop advanced indirect space charge models and possibly to perform a joint measurement campaign of long-term space charge effects.
A. Oeftiger showed some slides on these activities during the meeting.
