Abstract
The methods and codes employed in the US Heavy Ion Fusion program to simula te the beams in an Integrated Research Experiments (IRE) facility and a Fus ion driver are presented in overview. A new family of models incorporating accelerating module impedance, multi-beam and self-magnetic effects is desc ribed, and initial WARP3D particle simulations of beams using these models are presented. Finally, plans for streamlining the machine-design simulatio n sequence, and for simulating beam dynamics from the source to the target in a consistent and comprehensive manner, are described.
