Abstract

The DIANE code is a simulation software that solves the transport equation for neutrons, photons, electrons and light ions using the Monte Carlo method. The DIANE code can perform various kinds of calculations, such as criticality or shielding simulations. This paper presents an overview of the DIANE code capabilities, going through the description of input data, the transport simulation and some examples of applications.
