1. plenary invited talk: Machine and radiation protection challenges of high energy/intensity accelerators: the role of Monte Carlo calculations

Creators

  • 1. CERN, Geneva (Switzerland)

Description

In this series of slides, the author presents the role of Monte-Carlo simulations regarding accelerator design and operation. Monte Carlo simulation is an effective way to calculate macroscopic quantities (like energy deposition, dpa, particle fluence, activation and residual dose rate) with high accuracy. Multipurpose widespread Monte-Carlo codes are available, we can quote: FLUKA, GEANT4, MARS15, MCNP6, PHITS
