Description
Simulating entire beamlines for future linear colliders remains a significant challenge due to the diversity of components and the wide range of physical effects that must be accurately modelled. This is particularly true for colliders based on advanced accelerator concepts such as plasma acceleration. The Adaptable Beginning-to-End Linac (ABEL) simulation framework employs a modular architecture to allow users to perform start-to-end simulations with a high degree of flexibility. Each beamline component may be modelled independently using specialised codes such as HiPACE++, Wake-T, ELEGANT, GUINEA-PIG, CLICopti and ImpactX for precise modelling, or built-in simplified physics models for computational efficiency. ABEL also features an extensive suite of diagnostics tools, convenient parallel parameter scan capability and optimisation capability that allows for global optimisation of machine performance, luminosity, and the full programme cost. Hence, this establishes ABEL as a powerful tool for the agile design and evaluation of linear colliders. ABEL is currently used for the design and optimisation in the HALHF plasma-collider study.
