Beam tracking programs provide information of orbits along the nominal trajectory to design beam-line optics. Other aspects like machine or radiation protection, which inspect the transverse dimensions and volumes, are simulated with radiation transport Monte Carlo codes, some of which also include magnetic tracking capabilities. Evaluation of certain aspects, like beam loss shower induced propagation along a beam line, or beam mis-steering phase-space, would require to combine features of both types of codes, or use the latter ones with full accelerator 3D implementations, often too cumbersome and time consuming. This paper presents MadFLUKA, a program that produces FLUKA compatible geometries from MAD files. Objects selected from a user user-configurable database are auto-replicated with the rules of ‘twiss’ and ‘survey’ files to create beam lines with hundreds of components. FLUKA magnetic subroutine is generated from MAD optics, including history randomization of fields for ray-trace analysis of mis-steering failures. MadFLUKA is used in the design of the LCLS-II, at SLAC.

The high luminosity LHC upgrade (HL-LHC) requires new magnets in the low-beta interaction regions with a larger aperture than in the existing LHC. These include the Nb3Sn superconducting (SC) inner triplet quadrupoles, Nb-Ti SC separation dipoles D1 and D2, and SC matching quadrupoles Q4 and Q5. The large aperture is necessary for accommodating the increased beam size caused by significantly higher beta functions in these magnets in the collision optics. The high beta functions also enhance the effects of field errors in these magnets leading to a smaller dynamic aperture (DA). It is, therefore, critical to determine the field quality specifications for these magnets which 1) satisfy an acceptable DA, and 2) are realistically achievable. The estimates of expected field quality obtained from magnetic field calculations and measurements were used as a starting point. Then, based on the DA study, the field errors were optimized in order to reach an acceptable DA. The DA calculations were performed using SixTrack. Details of the optimization process and summary of the field quality specifications for collision and injection energies are presented.

The LCLS-II project is a high repetition rate, high average brightness free-electron laser based on the existing facilities at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The LCLS-II will be driven by a new CW superconducting RF (SCRF) 4-GeV linac replacing the existing Cu-linac in the 1st km of the linac tunnel. The SCRF linac will include chicanes for providing full compression of the electron bunch length. After the linac, the electron beam will be directed into the existing 2-km bypass line connecting to the Beam Switch Yard (BSY), where a new spreader system will allow a high rate bunch-by-bunch deflection into the hard X-ray (HXR) or soft X-ray (SXR) transport lines, or towards the BSY high power dump. The HXR line will include a new variable gap undulator replacing the existing LCLS-I undulator and will reuse the existing LCLS-I linac-to-undulator and dump transport lines. The SXR will require a new transport line sharing the same tunnel with the HXR and will include a new variable gap undulator. Overview of the electron beam transport and the optics design are presented.
