The latest updates on PHITS, a versatile radiation transport code, focusing specifically on track-structure models are presented. Track structure calculations are methods used to simulate the movement of charged particles while explicitly considering each atomic reaction. Initially developed for radiation biology, these calculation methods aimed to analyze the radiation-induced damage to DNA and chromosomes. Several track-structure calculation models, including PHITS-ETS, PHITS-ETS for Si, PHITS-KURBUC, ETSART, and ITSART, have been developed and implemented to PHITS. These models allow users to study the behavior of various particles at the nano-scale across a wide range of materials. Furthermore, potential applications of track-structure calculations have also been proposed so far. This collection of track-structure calculation models, which encompasses diverse conditions, opens up new avenues for research in the field of radiation effects.

Times Cited Count：144 Percentile：99.97(Nuclear Science & Technology)The Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) is a general-purpose Monte Carlo radiation transport code that can simulate the behavior of most particle species with energies up to 1 TeV (per nucleon for ions). Its new version, PHITS3.31, was recently developed and released to the public. In the new version, the compatibility with high-energy nuclear data libraries and the algorithm of the track-structure modes have been improved. In this paper, we summarize the upgraded features of PHITS3.31 with respect to the physics models, utility functions, and application software introduced since the release of PHITS3.02 in 2017.

PHITS is a general-purpose radiation transport simulation code that has been developed mainly by JAEA in cooperation with domestic and foreign research institutes. We released the latest version, PHITS 3.27, in March 2022. Since SATIF-14 held in 3 years ago, following updates were implemented (1)Extension of the cross section data reading module, (2)Modernization of burn-up calculation code DCHAIN, (3)Functionality to calculate the dependence of the result on the input parameters, (4)Interactive 3D geometry viewer,PHIG-3D, (5)Cosmic ray source function, (6)Track-structure calculation models, which calculate the atomic-scale reactions of charged particles on event-by-event basis, for electrons, positions, and heavy ions, (7)GUI-version RT-PHITS development, (8)random number generation by Xor-shift64 algorithm, (9)User-defined stopping power reading module, (10)EXFOR data reading module, (11)Photon-induced mu-mu pair production model. In addition, a bench, ark study conducted by Iwamoto et al, is also presented to explain the importance of the new cross section reading module.

PHITS is a general-purpose radiation transport simulation code that has been developed mainly by JAEA in cooperation with domestic and foreign research institutes. PHITS can simulate various radiation behaviors in all kinds of materials, and has been used by more than 7,000 researchers and engineers in a wide range of fields, including science, engineering, and medicine. We released the latest version, PHITS 3.27, in March 2022. This version includes several valuable improvements such as ITSART, a track-structure mode for arbitrary materials, and availability of nuclear data libraries for deuterons, alpha particles, and photons. In this presentation, we will introduce the new improvements and their features.
