Towards a heavy-ion transport capability in the MARS15 code

Radiat Prot Dosimetry. 2005;116(1-4 Pt 2):104-8. doi: 10.1093/rpd/nci147.

Abstract

In order to meet the challenges of new accelerator and space projects and further improve modelling of radiation effects in microscopic objects, heavy-ion interaction and transport physics have been recently incorporated into the MARS15 Monte Carlo code. A brief description of new modules is given in comparison with experimental data.
