PENELOPE: A code system for Monte Carlo simulation of electron and photon transport
Open accessAbstract
The NEA Data Bank was established to promote effective sharing of data and software developed in member countries in the field of nuclear technology and radiation physics applications. It operates a Computer Program Service (CPS) which collects, compiles and verifies programs in an appropriate computer environment, ensuring that the computer program package is complete and adequately documented. Thus, the CPS software library contains more than 1000 computer programs, and also includes processed nuclear data libraries, integral experiments, databases, handbooks and safety joint-project outcomes. All this content is made available to end-user on request, and in compliance with the applicable restrictions. One subject to which special effort has been devoted is radiation transport. Workshops and training courses including the use of computer codes have been organised in the field of neutral particle transport for codes using both deterministic and stochastic methods. The area of charged particle transport, and in particular electron-photon transport, has received increased attention for a number of technological and medical applications. The computer code “PENELOPE, A Code System for Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron and Photon Transport” was released to the NEA Data Bank for general distribution in 2001 and has been regularly updated since then to improve both physics models and algorithms. This code is now widely used by radiation physicists, and PENELOPE workshops with hands-on training are organised on a regular basis to meet users’ demand.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
