TL;DR: An upgraded version of the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code system (PHITS2.52) was developed and released to the public in this article, which is a more powerful tool for particle transport simulation applicable to various research and development fields.

TL;DR: A general purpose Monte Carlo Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code system, PHITS as mentioned in this paper, is developed through the collaboration of several institutes in Japan and Europe and can deal with the transport of nearly all particles, including neutrons, protons, heavy ions, photons, and electrons, over wide energy ranges.

TL;DR: A new relative-biological-effectiveness -weighted dose estimation method for charged-particle therapy was established on the basis of the double-stochastic microdosimetric kinetic model in PHITS.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photonuclear reaction model in the particle and heavy ion transport code system (PHITS) code is improved for incident photon energies below 140 MeV Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (JENDL/PD-2004) is adopted to determine the total reaction cross section.

TL;DR: The physics models implemented in PHITS are summarized, and some important functions useful for specific applications are introduced, such as an event generator mode and beam transport functions.
