Abstract

We present recent developments in the MERLIN particle
tracking simulation code, originally developed at DESY.
We have implemented differential scattering cross-sections
based on a pomeron exchange model interpolated over experimental
measurement data, and show that this model is
important at the small scattering angles generated in the
LHC collimators. Preliminary comparisons with previous
simulations are presented.
