What is Tally? What is tally?4 Tally: a record of the number or amount of something, especially one that you can keep adding to; [Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (7th edition), OXFORD.] In PHITS, the word of “Tally” used for functions to Deduce physical quantities such as flux and heat, or Depict the 2D or 3D geometry in certain area
What is tally?5 PHITS simulates the motion of each particle using the Monte Carlo method. You can estimate their average behavior by calculating various physical quantities as flux and deposition energy in a certain region, using “Tally” Result of [t-track] (Track-length tally) How many particles were passed through this region? → Use “track-length” tally Concept of Tally
Kinds of Tally in PHITS6 Calculating physical quantity –Particle flux → [t-track], [t-cross] –Heat and deposition energy → [t-heat], [t-deposit] –Secondary particles → [t-yield], [t-product] –LET or microdosimetric distribution → [t-let], [t-sed] Checking geometry –2-dimensional visualization → [t-gshow], [t-rshow] –3-dimensional visualization → [t-3dshow] Tally Types Various tally functions are implemented in PHITS Many physical quantities can be deduced from the PHITS simulation by selecting appropriate tally For example…
