  • Abstract
    To benchmark the newly developed beam dynamics code TRACK we have performed comparisons with well established existing codes. This paper presents a detailed comparison of the beam dynamics simulation in the RIA driver linac between the codes TRACK and IMPACT. After updating the code IMPACT to support the special requirements of the RIA driver linac, a very good agreement was obtained which represents another validation of both codes.
