Recently, the FLUKA–SIXTRACK coupling has been set up to simulate with great detail the performance of cleaning systems in circular, ultra-relativistic accelerators. In a coupled simulation, the two codes run simultaneously while exchanging particle information; SIXTRACK tracks the beam through the accelerator lattice, whereas F LUKA simulates the interaction of the tracked beam with intercepting devices. Hence, the coupling combines the best of the two codes involved, characterised by a long history of development and bench-marking. The present work summarises the main outcomes of the first extensive application of the coupling to a study case – the SPS scrapers and their upgrade as proposed in the framework of the LIU project.
