Oral

The multipurpose, Multiphysics nuclear data libraries generated by TALYS-2.2 & neutron resonance databases, TEFAL, TASMAN as the Evaluated Nuclear Data Library TENDL has now been released every other year recently. Considerable experience has been acquired during the production years of global repetitive seven incident particles (neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, alpha, helium and gamma...

38. Recent Developments of the Serpent Monte Carlo Code

Ana Jambrina (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd)

10/21/26, 10:15 AM

Oral

Serpent is a multi-purpose, three-dimensional, continuous-energy Monte Carlo neutron and photon transport code developed at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. Originally established in reactor physics and criticality safety, its scope has broadened considerably in recent years toward applications of direct interest to the SATIF community, including radiation shielding and damage,...

54. MARS code developments and applications to DUNE/LBNF, PIP-II and Mu2E projects

Igor Rakhno (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory)

10/21/26, 10:50 AM

Oral

Major features of the most recent version of the MARS code as well as ongoing developments are described. The latter include the following: (i) a new geometry module based on SDF (Signed Distance Field) surface representation; (ii) transitioning from an outdated representation of
output data; (iii) refactoring of the code and removal of obsolete Fortran features; (iv) adaptation to execution...

20. FLUKA new developments towards the 5th code generation

Vasilis Vlachoudis (CERN)

10/21/26, 11:30 AM

Oral

FLUKA users are already benefiting from a steady stream of physics and technical improvements delivered through the current production code. After native support for unstructured meshes made available in v4-5, the upcoming major release v4-6 improves isomer production, enables direct use of PENDF neutron databases, introduces X-ray reflection at boundaries, and provides a refined fission...

29. Unstructured Mesh geometries in FLUKA: Recent Developments and Applications

Giuseppe Mazzola

10/21/26, 11:50 AM

Oral

Support for CAD-based geometries through conversion into Unstructured Mesh (UM) elements was introduced as of FLUKA v4-5.0, strongly enhancing the workflow between engineering design and radiation transport simulations, as well as allowing for the use of state-of-the-art anthropomorphic mesh phantoms.

FLUKA’s optimized implementation, utilizing the capabilities of Flair’s geoviewer kernel,...

8. AI-Agent-Assisted Shielding Calculations: Implementation of PHITS Workflows and Prospects for Multi-Code Monte Carlo Simulations

Tatsuhiko Sato (Japan Atomic Energy Agency)

10/21/26, 12:10 PM

Oral

Monte Carlo particle transport codes are essential tools for accelerator shielding design, radiation safety assessment, and dose evaluation. However, their practical use requires detailed knowledge of input syntax, geometry modeling, source definition, tally selection, statistical uncertainty evaluation, and output interpretation. Recent progress in large language models and AI agents may...
