Xsuite: an integrated beam physics simulation framework
2623
Xsuite is a modular simulation package bringing to a single flexible and modern framework capabilities of different tools developed at CERN in the past decades notably MAD-X Sixtrack Sixtracklib COMBI and PyHEADTAIL. The suite consists of a set of Python modules (Xobjects, Xpart, Xtrack, Xcoll, Xfields, Xdeps) that can be flexibly combined together and with other accelerator-specific and general-purpose python tools to study complex simulation scenarios. Different computing platforms are supported including conventional CPUs as well as GPUs from different vendors. The code allows for symplectic modeling of the particle dynamics combined with the effect of synchrotron radiation impedances feedbacks space charge electron cloud beam-beam beamstrahlung and electron lenses. For collimation studies beam-matter interaction is simulated using the K2 scattering model or interfacing Xsuite with the BDSIM/Geant4 library and with the FLUKA code. Methods are made available to compute and optimize the accelerator lattice functions, chromatic properties and equilibrium beam sizes. By now the tool has reached a mature stage of development and is used for simulations studies by a large and diverse user community.

Status of beam-beam studies for the high-luminosity LHC
3213
Optimizing the configuration of an operational cycle of a collider such as the LHC is a complex process, requiring various simulation studies. In particular, Dynamic Aperture (DA) simulations, based on particle tracking, serve as indispensable tools for achieving this goal. In the framework of the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) studies, our primary focus lies in performing parametric beam-beam DA simulations for the critical phases of the collision process, which includes the collapse of the beam separation bump, as well as the start, and the end of the luminosity leveling. In this paper, we present the status of our ongoing studies for different optics and filling schemes, and we comment on how they could guide the orchestration of the operational settings along the luminosity leveling phase of the HL-LHC cycle.
