The FLUKA code: Overview and new developments

The FLUKA Monte Carlo Radiation Transport and Interaction code package is widely used to simulate the interaction of particles with matter in a variety of fields, including high energy physics, space radiation, medical applications, radiation protection and shielding assessments, accelerator studies, astrophysical studies and well logging. This paper gives a brief overview of the FLUKA program and describes recent developments, in particular, improvements in the modelling of particle interactions and transport are described in detail. In addition, an overview of selected applications is given.

Status of Mercury and Imp: Two Monte Carlo Transport Codes Developed Using Shared Infrastructure at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

The Monte Carlo Transport Project at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory develops two Monte Carlo transport codes used in production by a sizable internal user community. Mercury is a Monte Carlo particle transport code used to model the interaction of neutrons, gammas, and light ions with a material. Imp is an implicit Monte Carlo thermal x-ray photon transport code used to model the interaction of x-ray photons with a material. This paper describes the two codes and highlights recent developments.

Language and design evolution of the OpenMC Monte Carlo particle transport code

The OpenMC Monte Carlo particle transport code has been continuously developed for 13 years by a large community of contributors. In that time span, the codebase has undergone significant changes that have redefined what OpenMC is and made it an enduring presence in the nuclear science and engineering community. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of programming language use in OpenMC, trends in the overall design of the programming interfaces, and implications for the future of the code.
