Abstract :
Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is one of the most important effects in the design of high-quality beamlines with small bending radii. For a wide class of problems, numerical simulation is the only method to predict its effects. TraFiC4 is one of several simulation codes in existence. In this paper, we describe its extension to multi-processor machines, resulting in a substantial saving of CPU time. Also, we describe a semi-analytical approach to the problem of optics-dependence of emittance growth due to CSR
