Description
In this paper, the development of a Geant4 application enabling simulations
with FLUKA input files is presented. The creation of this novel tool, named
Moira, obeys two main motivations: to allow the execution of FLUKA and
Geant4 simulations using the same setup with minimal user intervention as well
as to prepare the long-term evolution of the FLUKA code, aiming to exploit
natural synergies between both Monte Carlo communities.
Consistently with the FLUKA user experience, Moira currently supports com-
binatorial geometries, scoring options, biasing techniques, complex magnetic
fields, transport and production cutoffs as a function of the particle’s energy,
among other features. It is also fully integrated in the Flair graphical interface.
The level of maturity achieved by Moira so far is detailed, and comparisons
of simulation results concerning various real cases are presented. These include
studies concerning complex radiation environments, such as the CHARM facility
at CERN and the LHC.
