Abstract	The CERN ion injectors, SPS and LEIR, operate in a strong space charge and intra-beam scattering regime, which can lead to degradation of their beam performance. To optimize machine performance requires thus to study the interplay of these two effects in combined space charge and intrabeam scattering tracking simulations. In this respect, the kinetic theory approach of intra-beam scattering has been implemented in pyORBIT and benchmarked against analytical models. First results of combined space charge and intra-beam scattering simulations for SPS and LEIR are presented in this contribution. The simulation results are compared with observations from beam measurements.
