Understanding and predicting beam halo is a major issue for accelerator driven transmutation technologies. If strict beam loss requirements are not met, the resulting radioactivation can reduce the availability of the accelerator facility and may lead to the necessity for time-consuming remote maintenance. Recently there has been much activity related to the core-halo model of halo evolution [1-5]. In this paper we will discuss the core-halo model in the context of constant focusing channels and periodic focusing channels. We will present numerical results based on this model and we will show comparisons with results from large scale particle simulations run on a massively parallel computer. We will also present results from direct Vlasov simulations.
