For example, long (~10 m), unshielded beamlines will not be able to transfer particles due to the natural Earth magnetic field or stray fields from closely located experiments. Currently, only a limited number of simulation codes allow a simplified representation of such field errors, limiting capabilities for beam delivery optimization. In this contribution, a new simulation approach is presented that can provide detailed insight into 4D beam transport. It illustrates the impact of imperfections and stray fields on beam stability and quality through simulations of two antiproton experiments located in the Antimatter Factory (AD) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Magnetic field imperfections are examined in two different ways, providing greater flexibility and an opportunity to benchmark all outcomes. Simulation performance is analyzed as a function of the level of detail and efficiency.
