This In-Person
Advanced Tutorial will be held at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University, East Lansing Michigan, USA.
PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System) is a general-purpose Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code developed under collaboration between the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and several institutes from around the world. PHITS can deal with the transport of nearly all particles over wide energy ranges, using several nuclear reaction models and nuclear data libraries. It supports research in the fields of accelerator technology, radiotherapy, space radiation, and many others related to particle and heavy ion transport phenomena.
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is a world-leading, next-generation rare isotope beam facility whose mission is to advance science by supporting research in a broad range of areas: properties of nuclei, astrophysical processes, tests of fundamental symmetries, and societal applications and benefits. We are pleased to host the first in-person PHITS tutorial held in North America to build knowledge and experience around a tool essential for supporting our work and community.
The tutorial will be from 16 to 20 September 2024, limited to 40 participants.
