Condition
The goal		Getting to know the concepts of deterministic and stochastic simulations of nuclear processes and of radiation transport through matter. Learning how to perform modelling and calculations in software packages SRIM, Geant4, GATE and MCNP.
The outcome		Knowledge of the theoretical grounds for deterministic and Monte Carlo simulations of radiation transport. Ability to develop complex simulation models of nuclear processes and systems.
Contents
Contents of lectures		Boltzmann transport theory. Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport. Simulating the transport of photons (scatterings, absorption, pair production), neutrons (scatterings, nuclear reactions, fission), protons (collisions with electrons and nuclei, nuclear reactions), electrons & positrons (scattering, bremsstrahlung, condensed history technique). Software packages SRIM, Geant4, GATE & MCNP.
Contents of exercises		Problem-solving exercises (which illustrate topics covered by the theoretical contents of the course) and work in software packages SRIM, Geant4, GATE and MCNP.
