Abstract
FLUKA is a multipurpose Monte Carlo code describing transport and interaction with matter of a large variety of particles over a wide energy range in complex geometries. FLUKA is successfully applied in several fields, including, but not only, particle physics, cosmic-ray physics, dosimetry, radioprotection, hadron therapy, space radiation, accelerator design and neutronics. Here we briefly review recent model developments and provide examples of applications to hadron therapy, including calculation of physical and biological dose for comparison with analytical treatment planning engines as well as β+-activation for therapy monitoring by means of positron emission tomography.
