Benchmark Study of the Recent Version of the PHITS Code [PDF]

Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology, 2017
We performed a benchmark study for 58 cases (22 cases reported in this paper and 36 cases reported in online as supplementary materials of this paper) using the recent version (version 2.88) of the Particle and Heavy-Ion Transport code System (PHITS) in the following fields: (1) particle production cross-sections for nuclear reactions from 20 MeV to 1 ...

Continuous energy adjoint transport for photons in PHITS [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Adjoint Monte Carlo can be an effcient algorithm for solving photon transport problems where the size of the tally is relatively small compared to the source. Such problems are typical in environmental radioactivity calculations, where natural or fallout

PHITS Benchmarking for HPGe Detector Efficiency

Energy Procedia, 2017
Abstract Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) validation for gamma-ray detector efficiency evaluation was performed. A coaxial type, 280 cm3 high-purity Ge (HPGe) detector efficiency that was measured in previous experiments and calculated by Cyltran and MCNP was simulated by PHITS Ver. 2.82.

GEANT4 And PHITS Simulations of the Shielding of Neutrons From the 252Cf Source [PDF]

Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 2014
Neutron shielding simulations by using GEANT4 and PHITS code are performed. As a neutron source, $^{252}$Cf is considered and the energy distribution of the neutrons emitted from $^{252}$Cf is assumed the Watt fission spectrum. The neutron dose equivalent rates with and without the shield are estimated for shielding materials such as graphite, iron ...
