The U.S. muon collider community is mobilizing itself to produce a “Design Feasibility Study” (DFS) for a muon collider. This is happening on an aggressive schedule and must include the best possible simulations to support and validate the technical design. The DFS for a muon collider will require innovative new approaches to many aspects of accelerator design, and the simulations to support it will require tools with features and capabilities that are equally innovative and new. Two computer programs have emerged as the preferred and most commonly used simulation tools within the muon collider community: ICOOL (primary author: Dr. Fernow), and G4beamline (primary author: Dr. Roberts). We describe the ongoing development and testing of both tools for the DFS, including a common suite of tests to ensure that both tools give accurate and realistic results, as well as innovative user-friendly interfaces with emphasis on graphical user interfaces and windows.
