FLUKA (FLUktuierende KAskade) is a fully integrated Monte Carlo simulation package for the interaction and transport of particles and nuclei in matter.[2][3][4][5] FLUKA has many applications in particle physics, high energy experimental physics and engineering, shielding, detector and telescope design, cosmic ray studies,[6] dosimetry,[7] medical physics, radiobiology. A recent line of development concerns hadron therapy.[8][9]
It is the standard tool used in radiation protection studies in the CERN particle accelerator laboratory.[10][11] FLUKA software code is used by Epcard, which is a software program for simulating radiation exposure on airline flights.[12]
Comparison with other codes
MCNPX is slower than FLUKA.[13][14]
Geant4 is slower than FLUKA.[13][14][15]
