    Abstract

    High per­for­mance col­li­ma­tion sys­tems are re­quired for cur­rent and pro­posed high en­ergy hadron ac­cel­er­a­tors in order to pro­tect su­per­con­duct­ing mag­nets and ex­per­i­ments. In order to en­sure that the col­li­ma­tion sys­tem de­signs are suf­fi­cient and will op­er­ate as ex­pected, pre­ci­sion sim­u­la­tion tools are re­quired. This paper dis­cusses the cur­rent sta­tus of ex­ist­ing col­li­ma­tion sys­tem tools, and per­forms a com­par­i­son be­tween codes in order to en­sure that the sim­u­lated in­ter­ac­tion physics be­tween a pro­ton and a col­li­ma­tor jaw is ac­cu­rate.
