Introduction
This is a beginner/intermediate course that will help professionals working in the Monte Carlo radiation transport fields to understand the various functions and attributes of the brand new FLUKA 2023 release.
The FLUKA training course organized by Lanzhou University (LZU) will be held in Lanzhou from June 1st to 8nd (registration on June 1st, leaving on June 8nd), 2024. The non-profit course intends to connect the user end directly with the simulation software development group,
This course is designed for Master's and PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers from university research institutions. The course will be taught directly by key members of the FLUKA development team. The curriculum covers the entire process, including software installation, writing simulation input files, and running FLUKA, with practical exercises incorporated throughout. In addition, the course will also cover other related topics, including medical physics, allowing participants to engage in discussions with the instructors based on their own research interests.
Registration process and dates
Note: To ensure instructors can prepare targeted course materials, we need to finalize the list of participants in advance. The registration deadline (including payment of registration fees) is
May 1st, 2024
Like all previous courses, the intake is limited and acceptance will be on a first come/first served basis. In case the limit on the number of participants is exceeded during the registration stage, a waiting list will be set up.

Computers
Your personal computer is needed to perform the course exercises. Please look at the Personal Laptop section for requirements
Prior Knowledge
No particular experience with FLUKA or similar Monte Carlo packages is required, however basic knowledge of LINUX/UNIX is necessary, as well as reasonably fluent use of a plain-text editor and the ability to navigate through a file tree. For newcomers, not only to FLUKA but also to Linux, we strongly recommend to have a look into a Linux tutorial in order to be able to profit at maximum from the FLUKA course.
