Joint Seminar DATE: 2006-05-26 13:30 - 17:00 PLACE: KEK, 4th Building, Room 345 TITLE: Lecture on The MARS15 New Code System -Recent Developments and New Features- CONTACT: toshiya.sanamikek.jp SPEAKER: Nikolai Mokhov  (FNAL) LANGUAGE: English ABSTRACT: The widely used MARS15 code was successfully applied to the K2K Neutrino Facility at KEK. The estimate of radio-activities induced in the soil shielding surrounding the decay volume is remarkably consistent with the measurements and certify the level below the design value. In the shielding design of the 50-GeV proton synchrotron of J-PARC, the MARS code has been extensively utilized. This code is the main tool in numerous energy deposition and radiation studies in accelerator, detector and shielding applications at Tevatron, LHC, neutrino factory and space. It is also applied to the design study of the future Linear Collider. Recently the calculation model of MARS15 has been substantially renewed.　In this lecture, the new MARS15 code system will be discussed　and new physics, tracking, histograming and I/O features described　to numerous code users at KEK. Content: 13:30 - 15:00: Lecture I Theory The new MARS15 code system: physics, materials, geometries, tracking, tallies, interfaces, visualization, beam line builder. 15:00 - 15:30 Coffee Break , Free Discussion 15:30 - 17:00: Lecture 2, Application Input, output, user routines, histograming and computing efficiency. Solving problems in accelerator, detector, radiation-proof magnet and shielding applications.
