It can determine high-order transfer maps of combinations of particle\noptical elements of arbitrary field configurations. For precision modeling,\ndesign, and optimization of next-generation muon beam facilities, its features\nmake it a very attractive code. New features are being developed for inclusion\nin COSY to follow the distribution of charged particles through matter. To\nstudy in detail some of the properties of muons passing through material, the\ntransfer map approach alone is not sufficient. The interplay of beam optics\nand atomic processes must be studied by a hybrid transfer map–Monte Carlo\napproach in which transfer map methods describe the average behavior of the\nparticles in the accelerator channel including energy loss, and Monte Carlo\nmethods are used to provide small corrections to the predictions of the\ntransfer map accounting for the stochastic nature of scattering and straggling\nof particles. The advantage of the new approach is that it is very efficient\nin that the vast majority of the dynamics is represented by fast application\nof the high-order transfer map of an entire element and accumulated stochastic\neffects as well as possible particle decay. The gains in speed are expected\nto simplify the optimization of muon cooling channels which are usually very\ncomputationally demanding due to the need to repeatedly run large numbers of\nparticles through large numbers of configurations. Progress on the development\nof the required algorithms is reported.\nJ. Kunz, P. Snopok, M. Berz, K.
