Careful simulations are required to design muon cooling channels.\nNew features are being developed for inclusion in the transfer map code COSY\nInfinity to follow the distribution of charged particles through matter. To\nstudy the passage of muons through material, the transfer map approach alone\nis not sufficient. The interplay of beam optics and atomic processes must be\nstudied by a hybrid transfer map–Monte-Carlo approach in which transfer\nmap methods describe the deterministic behavior of the particles,\nand Monte-Carlo methods are used to provide corrections accounting for the\nstochastic nature of scattering and straggling of particles. The advantage\nof the new approach is that the vast majority of the dynamics are represented\nby fast application of the high-order transfer map of an entire element and\naccumulated stochastic effects. The gains in speed are expected to simplify\nthe optimization of cooling channels which is usually computationally\ndemanding. Progress on the development of the required algorithms and their\napplication to modeling muon ionization cooling channels is reported.\nJ. Kunz, P. Snopok, M.
