Abstract

The Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) is a general-purpose Monte Carlo radiation transport code that can simulate the behavior of most particle species with energies up to 1 TeV (per nucleon for ions). Its new version, PHITS3.33, was recently developed and released to the public. In the new version, the compatibility with nuclear data libraries and the algorithm of the track-structure modes have been improved, and they are recommended to be used for certain simulation conditions. Some utility functions and software have been developed and integrated into the new PHITS package, such as PHITS Interactive Geometry viewer in 3D (PHIG-3D) and RadioTherapy packaged based on PHITS (RT-PHITS). With these upgraded features, PHITS can be applied in a wide diversity of fields – beyond traditional nuclear engineering domains – including cosmic-ray, environmental, medical, life, and material sciences. In this paper, we summarize the upgraded features of PHITS3.33 with respect to the physics models, utility functions, and application software introduced since the release of PHITS3.02 in 2017.

粒子和重离子输运代码系统的最新改进- PHITS 3.33版

粒子和重离子输运码系统(PHITS)是一个通用的蒙特卡罗辐射输运码，可以模拟能量高达1tev(离子的每核子)的大多数粒子的行为。它的新版本PHITS3.33最近已开发并向公众发布。在新版本中，改进了与核数据库的兼容性和轨迹结构模式的算法，并推荐在某些仿真条件下使用。一些实用功能和软件已经开发并集成到新的PHITS软件包中，例如PHITS交互式三维几何查看器(PHIG-3D)和基于PHITS的放射治疗软件包(RT-PHITS)。凭借这些升级后的功能，PHITS可以应用于广泛的领域-超越传统的核工程领域-包括宇宙射线，环境，医学，生命和材料科学。本文总结了PHITS3.33自2017年PHITS3.02发布以来在物理模型、实用函数和应用软件方面的升级特性。
