蒙特卡罗方法已成为核辐射研究领域中不可缺少的一部分。几个广泛使用的和众所周知的MC软件包被开发用于模拟辐射传输和与物质的相互作用。所有这些MC包都要求用户准备输入脚本。对于复杂的模型，输入脚本可能会变得很长。准备这些输入脚本的过程非常耗时且容易出错。在目前的工作中，我们已经开发了一个开源的GUI计算机程序，用于模拟辐射传输和相互作用的多段板幻影使用网格为基础的系统，广泛使用的PHITS MC包。开发的工具将是有用的PHITS MC包，特别是没有经验的用户的未来用户。本程序在GPL许可下发布，所有用户都可以自由下载，修改和重新发布程序，没有任何限制。
The Monte Carlo (MC) method has become an indispensable part of the nuclear radiation research field. Several widely used and well-known MC packages were developed for simulation of radiation transport and interaction with matter. All these MC packages require users to prepare an input script. The input script can become lengthy for complex models. The process of preparing these input scripts is time-consuming and error-prone. In the present work, we have developed an open-source GUI computer program for modelling radiation transport and interaction in multi-segmented slab phantoms using grid-based system for the widely used PHITS MC package. The developed tools would be useful for future users of PHITS MC package and particularly inexperienced users. The present program is distributed under GPL license and all users can freely download, modify and redistribute the program without any restrictions.
