FLUKA

FLUKA or FLUKA Particle Transport Code - a particle physics Monte Carlo simulation package. FLUKA has many applications in high energy experimental physics and engineering, shielding, detector and telescope design, cosmic ray studies, dosimetry, medical physics and radiobiology.

The software is sponsored by INFN and CERN.

Early versions of the FLUKA hadronic event generator were implemented in other codes (in particular, GEANT) and should be referenced as such (e.g. GEANT-FLUKA) and not as FLUKA.

FLUKA is available in form of a pre-compiled object library for a number of computer platforms. Source code is also available.

On Linux needs a FORTRAN compiler (at this point g77 is used) to build and run user programs.

A special user interface for FLUKA named flukaGUI is maintained and available at the project's web-site.
