A review of the Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) user community
/ Shields, William (JAI, UK) ; Nevay, Laurence (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a Monte Carlo particle tracking simulation tool for modelling energy deposition in 3D models of particle accelerators. Initially conceived in 2001 to model the collimation system in the International Linear Collider (ILC), in recent years BDSIM has undergone a significant transformation across virtually its entire code base.

Progress & developments of BDSIM
/ Shields, William (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Nevay, Laurence (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM), is a C++ program that seamlessly models particle beam transport within an accelerator model that can encompass the beam line, the accelerator's environment, and any accompanying detectors. Based on a suite of high-energy physics software including Geant4, CLHEP, and ROOT, BDSIM transforms the optical design of an accelerator into a detailed 3D model. [...]

Muon background minimisation using the second achromat of the NA62-BD experiment
/ Murphy, Robert (CERN ; Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Banerjee, Dipanwita (CERN) ; Baratto Roldan, Anna (CERN) ; Bernhard, Johannes (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Brugger, Markus (CERN) ; Charitonidis, Nikolaos (CERN) ; D'Alessandro, Gian Luigi (CERN ; Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Deniaud, Marin (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Dyks, L A (CERN) et al.
The K12 beam line and NA62 experiment in the North Area at CERN in beam dump mode exploits the interactions of 400 GeV protons with a movable dump-collimator, the so-called XTAX. Such interactions are theorised to generate potential light dark matter candidates such as the axion. [...]

Conceptual design of the magnetised iron block system for the SHADOWS experiment
/ Stummer, F (CERN ; Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Banerjee, D (CERN) ; Baratto Roldan, A (CERN) ; Bernhard, J (CERN) ; Boogert, S T (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Brugger, M (CERN) ; Charitonidis, N (CERN) ; D'Alessandro, G L (CERN ; Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Deniaud, M (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Dyks, L A (CERN) et al.
The SHADOWS experiment is a proposed beam dump experiment in the CERN North Area, aiming to search for feebly interacting particles (FIPs) created in 400 GeV/c proton interactions. Due to its intended off-axis location alongside the K12 beam line, the SHADOWS detector can be placed potentially very close to the dump, enabling it to look for FIPs in non-covered parts of the parameter space.

BDSIM v1.7.0 developments for the modelling of accelerators and their environment
/ Nevay, L J (CERN) ; Abramov, A (CERN) ; Hernalsteens, C (CERN) ; Shields, W (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Alden, S (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Gibson, S M (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Lefebvre, H (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Boogert, S T (Liverpool U.) ; Gnacadja, E (Brussels U.) ; Ramoisiaux, E (Brussels U.) et al.
Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a program based on Geant4 that creates 3D radiation transport models of accelerators from a simple optical description in a vastly reduced time with great flexibility. It also uses ROOT and CLHEP to create a single simulation model that can accurately track all particles species in an accelerator to predict and understand beam losses, secondary radiation, dosimetric quantities and their origins.

Monte Carlo simulations are required to evaluate beam losses and secondary radiation accurately in particle accelerators and beamlines. Detailed CAD geometries are critical to account for a realistic distribution of material masses but increase the model complexity and often lead to code duplication. [...]

BDSIM Developments for Hadron Therapy Centre Applications
/ Ramoisiaux, Eliott (U. Brussels (main)) ; Boogert, Stewart T (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Gnacadja, Eustache (U. Brussels (main)) ; Hernalsteens, Cédric (U. Brussels (main) ; CERN) ; Nevay, Laurence J (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Pauly, Nicolas (U. Brussels (main)) ; Shields, William (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Tesse, Robin (U.

Hadron therapy centres are evolving towards reduced-footprint layouts, often featuring a single treatment room. The evaluation of beam properties, radiation protection quantities, and concrete shielding activation via numerical simulations poses new challenges that can be tackled using the numerical beam transport and Monte-Carlo code Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM), allowing a seamless simulation of the dynamics as a whole.

Optimization of proton therapy eye-treatment systems toward improved clinical performances
/ Gnacadja, Eustache (Unlisted, BE) ; Hernalsteens, Cédric (CERN) ; Boogert, Stewart (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Flandroy, Quentin (Unlisted, BE) ; Fuentes, Carolina (Unlisted, BE) ; Nevay, Laurence J (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Pauly, Nicolas (Unlisted, BE) ; Ramoisiaux, Eliott (Unlisted, BE) ; Shields, William (Royal Holloway, U. of London) ; Tesse, Robin (Unlisted, BE) et al.
The treatment protocols of cancerous ocular diseases with proton therapy are well established, and dedicated eye-treatment systems can produce the clinical beam properties that meet the peculiar features required by eye-treatment modalities. However, for general-purpose multiroom systems comprising eye-treatment beamlines and nozzles, the design and commissioning procedures must be optimized to achieve the performances of fully dedicated systems in terms of depth-dose distal falloff, lateral penumbra, and dose rate.
