Generic Process and Materials 2013 Work Plan

1) MT migration: (1) Verify safeness of

2) Biasing developments: a) Design and implementation iteration (1 unless stated differently)

design for physics-based biasing (occurence biasing, final state biasing)
verify design appropriatness
Implement options (options with “?” requires further feasibility studies)
Forced interaction
Exponential transform
Forced free flight
For all three above: consider individual process cross-section biasing, but also total cross-section biasing.
brem. splitting (complementary/alternative to existing one in EM)
leading particle biasing (complementary/alternative to existing one in had)
Point-like force interaction
Exploratory track (?)
Above options should be considered single or cross-volume capable
Material/Isotope composition biasing (?)
Woodcock tracking (?)
Study design and implementation solution for angular/energy biasing (1/2)
needed in DXTRAN option (?)
pending issue of differential cross-section.
Study for charged particles:
issue: accounting for cross-section change due to Eloss and MSC
verify principle for proposed solution
verify existing design accomodates charged particle case
Include parallel geometry use in design:
physics-based biasing:
meaningful in layered mass geometries only
non-physics-based biasing:
all sort of parallel geometries useful b) Finalizing the released code (2)
tests/validations
user examples
documentation

3) Phonons: (1/2)

4) Materials

MT major item (1)
study feasibility of extending DNA approach, with molecular structure (1/2) -> mini-workshop to discuss requirements on molecular aspects ?

5) Reverse MC (1/2)

6) Automatic generation of biasing geometry (2)

study a way to provide simple way to generate automatically the geometry for geometry-based biasing using importance in cells.
