Prior Knowledge
No particular experience with FLUKA or similar Monte-Carlo packages is required, however basic knowledge of LINUX/UNIX is necessary, as well as reasonably fluent use of a plain-text editor and the ability to navigate through a file tree. For newcomers, not only to FLUKA but also to Linux, we strongly recommend to have a look into a Linux tutorial in order to be able to profit at maximum from the FLUKA course.
Computers
The course is heavily based on exercises. Users shall bring their laptop, register as FLUKA users and make sure that their installed copy is in working order before arrival.
