This can be applied for calculating the impact of the beam-matter interaction
This can be applied and adapted to calculating the impact of the beam-matter interaction

Therefore, the feasibility and the accuracy of predicting the beam properties on target can be improved.
In case, the spacial structuring of the beam on target is relevant,
it is important to know how the spacial distribution changes along the way from generation to the target.
With simulations including the beam-matter interaction as well as collective effects within the beam
In case, the spacial structuring of the beam on target is of importance,
it is critical to know how the spacial distribution changes along the way from generation to the target.
To this end the beam-matter interaction out side the accelerator will be included in the simulations.
On top of this, calculations of the collective effects occurring within the high intensity beam
can be added using established(?) algorithms/predictions/theoretical descriptions usually applied
to beam dynamics calculations within the accelerator.
The hope is that, by extending the calculation of these effects beyond the accelerator
this can not only be predicted but already considered during the generation.
will be added by extending established theoretical descriptions usually applied
to beam dynamics calculations within the accelerator, to the beam transport outside the accelerator.
The hope is that, by extending the calculation of these effects beyond the accelerator, as a first step,
it becomes possible to predict the resulting spatial distribution on target.
And as a second step, it might allow to consider effects of the beam transport already during the generation.
Ideally, this would allow the generation of a spacial distribution which preemptively compensates for the expected changes.

The present advances in accelerator based RT, like FLASH RT or Microbeam RT,
lead to operation parameters of the used accelerators that can not anymore be described by simple linear optics and beam dynamics. Instead, due to the development towards higher intensity combined with shorter pulse lengths and transverse modulations, the consideration of nonlinear and complex optics as well as beam dynamics influenced by collective effects becomes necessary.\\
