FLUKA (an acronym for Fluktuierende Kaskade) is a fully integrated Monte Carlo simulation package for the interaction and transport of particles and nuclei in matter.[1][2][3][4] FLUKA has many applications in particle physics, high energy experimental physics and engineering, shielding, detector and telescope design, cosmic ray studies,[5] dosimetry,[6] medical physics, radiobiology. A recent line of development concerns hadron therapy.[7][8] As of 2022 FLUKA allowed simulation of interactions of photons with energy 100 eV and above.[9]

It is the standard tool used in radiation protection studies in the CERN particle accelerator laboratory.[10][11] FLUKA software code is used by Epcard, which is a software program for simulating radiation exposure on airline flights.[12]

The first version of FLUKA was developed in the 1960s by Johannes Ranft. FLUKA makes use of combinatorial geometry.[9]

Comparison with other codes

MCNPX is slower than FLUKA.[13][14]

Geant4 is slower than FLUKA.[13][14][15]
