Stopping power and projected range for FLUKA code

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating stopping power and projected range for aluminum using FLUKA code. Users seek guidance on locating relevant output files and modifying input files for accurate simulations. Key resources shared include FLUKA's official documentation and external links for further understanding. The conversation highlights the complexity of FLUKA's documentation and suggests reaching out to CERN for additional support.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of FLUKA code and its applications
  • Familiarity with stopping power concepts in particle physics
  • Basic knowledge of input and output file structures in simulation software
  • Experience with particle interaction simulations, such as PENELOPE or PHITS
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore FLUKA documentation on input and output file management
  • Research stopping power calculations for various materials in FLUKA
  • Investigate particle fluence simulations in FLUKA
  • Contact CERN for expert guidance on FLUKA usage
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and engineers involved in particle physics simulations, particularly those using FLUKA for stopping power calculations and material interactions.

Stopping power and projected range for fluka code
How do I calculate the stopping power or projected range for aluminum in Fulka. And in which output file is this data located?How can I edit a change in the input file?

How do I calculate the stopping power or projected range for aluminum in Fulka. And in which output file is this data located?How can I edit a change in the input file?
The title of the example of "Charged pion fluence inside and around a proton-irradiated Be target"

So, is one looking at slowing down of protons in Al? Or, other particles? Slowing down of protons, subatomic particles, and nuclei are different.

I'm not a FLUKA user yet, but I'll probably get there. I've been using PENELOPE (U. of Barcelona) and starting to learn PHITS (JAEA)

I'm finding the documentation to FLUKA to be challenging.

See if the following helps:

Meanwhile, I'll look into the matter to see if I can find a simple explanation.

It might be worthwhile to contact the group at CERN.
