The simulation framework

The FOOT simulation is performed using the FLUKA software package.

Running the simulation: how to

There are several steps needed to get, compile, run, access the simulation output.

Getting the code

The instructions to download the code are available in the FOOT software page.

Compiling and running

As a prerequisite for running a simulation you need a valid installation of the FLUKA software.

You have to setup the $FLUKA, $FLUTIL and $FLUFOR variables before compiling the code (help with the FLUKA installation phase is provided in the FLUKA web page, FLUKA mailing lists and, if everything else failed, from the FOOT FLUKA "experts": V. Patera, G. Battistoni, A. Sarti). Once everything is installed and setup, you can proceed with the following instructions.

To compile the code you have to:

• Go in the Simulation folder.
• Source the link_FOOT.sh script.
• After the code is compiled, check that you have a fluka_FOOT.exe executable created in your Simulation folder.

• Go in the Simulation folder.
• Execute the command:

$FLUTIL/rfluka -e fluka_FOOT.exe -N0 -M1 FOOT_new

• The output will appear in:
