  In order to facilitate studies of how dynamically changing element attributes affect the dynamics of the beam and beam losses, the functionality for dynamic kicks (DYNK) of SixTrack has been significantly extended. This functionality can be used for the simulation of dynamic scenarios, such as when crab cavities are switched on, orbit bumps are applied, optics are changed, or failures occur. The functionality has been extended with a more general and flexible implementation, such that arbitrary time-dependent functions can be defined and applied to different attributes of families or individual elements, directly from the user input files. This removes the need for source code manipulation, and it is compatible with LHC@Home which offers substantial computing resources from volunteers. In this paper, the functionality and implementation of DYNK is discussed, along with examples of application to the HL-LHC crab cavities.

  We present an implementation of a tracking simulation tool used to evaluate the main particle loss effects for Flavor Factories with the aim of applying these studies also to FCC. We describe the interface of the Monte Carlo tracking code with MAD-X, showing first simulations of the Touschek effect for the FCC-ee at the Z. We plan to use this approach also for multi-turn simulations of particles scattered by radiative Bhabha, beam-gas and eventually Beamstrahlung effects.

  The interaction regions of future high-luminosity colliders require well balanced designs, which provide both for a very high luminosity and at the same time keep backgrounds and radiation at tolerable levels. We describe a set of flexible tools, targeted at providing a first evaluation of losses in the interaction region as part of the design studies, and their application to FCC.

  We describe the detailed modelling of muon background generation and absorption in the CLIC beam delivery system. The majority of the background muons originates in the first stages of halo collimation. We also discuss options to use magnetised cylindrical iron shields to reduce the muon background flux reaching the detector region.

  The High Luminosity (HL) LHC upgrade aims for a tenfold increase in integrated luminosity compared to the nominal LHC, and for operation at a levelled luminosity of 5 1034 cm-2.s-1, which is five times higher than the nominal LHC peak luminosity. Crab Cavities (CCs) are planned to compensate the geometric luminosity loss created by the increased crossing angle by rotating the bunch, allowing quasi head-on collisions at the Interaction Points (IP). The CCs work by creating transverse kicks, and their failure may have short time constants comparable to the reaction time of the Machine Protection System (MPS), producing significant coherent betatron oscillations and fast emittance growth. Simulations of CC failure modes have been carried out with the tracking code SIXTRACK, using the newly added functionality called DYNK, which allows to dynamically change the attributes of the CCs. We describe these simulations and discuss early, preliminary results.
