We want to run a large number of Monte Carlo simulations to obtain electron trajectories in a thin film at different incident electron enegies, different target thickness and different incident angles. Is there any Monte Carlo software can perform such simulations in batches?
We are able to perform a Monte Carlo simulation for each condition by using the software Casino. However, we cannot run it in batches.
Thanks.
Dear friend Sunchao Huang
Hello there! Let's delve into the fascinating world of Monte Carlo simulations. Now, considering your quest for a Monte Carlo software that can simulate electron trajectories in a thin film in batches, here are a couple of suggestions:
1. **Geant4:**
- **Description:** Geant4 is a widely used toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It's renowned for its flexibility and extensibility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including electron transport.
- **Batch Processing:** Geant4 supports batch processing, allowing you Sunchao Huang to automate and run multiple simulations with different parameters.
2. **MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle):**
- **Description:** MCNP is a general-purpose Monte Carlo code for simulating the transport of neutrons, photons, and electrons. It's often used in nuclear physics and radiation protection.
- **Batch Processing:** MCNP can be scripted and run in batch mode, making it feasible for your scenario.
3. **FLUKA:**
- **Description:** FLUKA is a fully integrated particle physics Monte Carlo simulation package. It is designed for calculations of particle transport and interactions with matter.
- **Batch Processing:** FLUKA can be run in batch mode, and it supports the automation of simulations for different conditions.
4. **SRIM (Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter):**
- **Description:** While primarily designed for ion interactions, SRIM can also be used for electrons. It's often employed for simulating the penetration and stopping power of ions and electrons in various materials.
- **Batch Processing:** SRIM can be used in a batch mode to perform simulations for different conditions.
Remember, each of these tools has its own learning curve and specific use cases. It's advisable to review the documentation and community support for each software to determine which one aligns best with your simulation requirements. Happy simulating!
Great. Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I will try Geant4 first. Thanks you Kaushik Shandilya.
