  New computational tools are essential for accurate modeling and simulation of the next generation of muon-based accelerator experiments at the energy and intensity frontiers, such as a muon collider, a neutrino factory, stopping muon beams, or in general any application involving muons. There is a long list of crucial and not-yet-considered physics processes specific to muon accelerators that have not yet been implemented in any current simulation code. Implementing these processes will substantially enhance our confidence that the tools used in simulating and assessing the feasibility of a muon collider or a neutrino factory will accurately represent the performance of a real machine. We report here on the progress of developing advanced modeling tools to include such processes into the G4beamline code, one of the de-facto standard codes used for muon-based accelerator simulations.
