Fluka Raytracer

Abstract

The project described in this document was developed as the work for a technical student position at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. CERN is the European Organization for Nuclear Research and is one of the leading physics laboratories across the world. The development of the current project was held by the section EN-STI-EET (Engineering; Sources Targets and Interactions; Emerging Energy Technologies), which in collaboration with INFN Institute, Italy is in charge of developing and maintaining the Monte Carlo generator FLUKA . FLUKA is a general purpose tool for calculations of particle transport and interactions with matter, covering an extended range of applications spanning from proton and electron accelerator shielding to target design, calorimetry, activation, dosimetry, detector design, Accelerator Driven Systems, cosmic rays, neutrino physics, radiotherapy etc.
