LOS ALAMOS HIGH ENERGY TRANSPORT (LAHET) CODE SYSTEM (LCS)

Description:

This collection of Monte Carlo codes (including Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Energy Transport Code (HETC))offers simulation capacity for a variety of particles in energy regimes from TEV down to thermal energies. LAHET can be used to calculate the induced ionizing radiation environment (including secondary particles) in 3-D mass models from proton (trapped, solar, galactic) or albedo neutron space environments. Applications include radiation background and induced radioactivity predictions for space experiments and sensors.

Additional Information:

Language: FORTRAN 77

Operating System: VMS, AIX, CVX, HPUX, SUN, UCOS

Hardware Requirements: No special hw requirements. Need to have Monte Carlo Nuclear Particle transport code sw avaliable from Radiation Shielding Information Center, Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Availability:

  • Maintenance/ Upgrades: Updated as required
  • Source Code: Yes
  • Cost: Cost information available from point of contact.
  • Distribution: LAHET is disributed in UNIX Tar format (1.5 MB). Must request the code from point of contact listed below.
  • Manuals: Yes
  • Training: No (Training is available for the Monte Carlo Nuclear Particle Transport code)

Input Description: Source Description and geometries.

Output Format: Graphical output of transportation data of various particles

Verification/ Validation: Data from LAHET has been compared extensively against experimental data of varying target materials, projectile particle type and energy and geometry.
