Starting in January 2010, substantial modifications have been made to the Bertini Cascade code. Primarily internal software updates and class refactoring, the changes include improvements to the internal physics processes (cross sections, final states, and angular distributions, respect for conservation laws, and a dramatic reduction in the memory "churn" attributed to the Bertini cascade. ...

Radiation environment in a spacecraft is very complicated. A variety of high energy nucleus exists in cosmic rays. Some of them interacts with nucleus in the spacecraft and produces many secondary particles including neutrons. Therefore both nucleus-nucleus and neutron-nucleus interactions are important for the assessment of radiational damage of the devices flown on a spacecraft. Recent...

The Monte Carlo (MC) method is very accurate for simulating the
interaction of radiations with complex
geometries. However MC simulations need most of the time a lot of
computing power
before reaching the expected precision of the simulation results.
This represents an important drawbacks of the RMC method when it is
used in engineering tool, as for example Spenvis,
where the...
