The module consists of a special beamline element that simulates the interaction between the tracked beam and a laser, making RF-Track capable of simulating a complete ICS source in one go, from the electron source to the photons. The description of the laser allows the user to thoroughly quality the laser in terms of wavelength, pulse energy, pulse length, incoming direction, M2 parameter, aspect ratio, polarisation and whether the laser profile should be Gaussian or uniform. Furthermore, as the code implements fully generic expressions, the scattering between photons and different particles than electrons can be simulated. A benchmark against CAIN showed excellent agreement and that RF-Track outperforms CAIN in terms of computational speed by orders of magnitude.
