Abstract:

Relevant differences between the CHEF and Merlin simulation codes for Low Emittances transport (LET) of ILC positrons bunches are
documented. Significant discrepancies on a previous LET benchmark are explained. The current systematic error on the projected vertical
emittance in the Tesla style lattice is about one nano-Radiant. Finally, suggestions for code upgrades are made.
