This paper will review GEANT4 applications and extensions for accelerator studies, both as a general framework and for the simulation of specific accelerators. G4Beamline is a Geant4-based program intended to easily simulate many different aspects of beam-line design. G4Beamline implements accelerator components via an object-oriented ASCII input format. For instance, it allows the definition of a quadrupole magnet by its physical geometry, materials, and also magnetic field (including several models for fringe fields).
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) poses some challenges for simulation not normally found in a particle physics experiment. The G4MICE package is under development to allow a complete simulation of the MICE cooling channel (including the simulation of magnetic and RF fields) and instrumentation.
BDSIM is a Geant4 based code that implements fast accelerator-style tracking for particles within the beam-pipe together with the full set of Geant4 physics processes for particles that leave the beam-pipe. The program has been used to simulate and optimize the design of proposed electron positron linear colliders (ILC and CLIC). The input to the code is based on the MAD format and allows definition of geometries, fields and materials. Geometry descriptions common to those used by the ILC detector groups have enabled common studies of the interaction region, specification of the required collimation depths and optimization of the extraction lines.
