VI FLUKA Advanced Course
Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China
Introduction
This is an advanced course directed to FLUKA users with previous experience with the code.
It is organized by the Lanzhou University (LZU), and will be held in Lanzhou from May 25th to 31st (registration on May 24th, leaving on May 31st), 2025.
The course program will cover mostly advanced topics in FLUKA, with lectures and challenging exercises. Students will learn how to:
- build complex geometries;
- deal with voxel structures;
- implement electric/magnetic fields;
- precisely set the simulation parameters;
- get the best out of the FLUKA scoring;
- tailor the bias settings;
- program user routines;
- perform GCR calculations;
- fully take advantage of new features;
- ...and much more
During the workshop the attendants will also present and share their experiences, problems and personal solutions. All students will have the opportunity to interact directly with the simulation software development group, including its original authors.
