Abstract

The main features of the FLUKA Monte Carlo code, which can deal with transport and interaction of electromagnetic and hadronic particles, are summarized. The physical models embedded in FLUKA are described. Application of the code for the radiation background calculations. Especially, the origin and composition of the intense radiation field to be expected in parts of the ALICE detector for the coming multi-TeV LHC collider is described. It is important to evaluate the risk of radiation damage in detectors and electronics equipment.
