User's manual for PUTZ: a point-kernel photon shielding code

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5864471· OSTI ID:5864471
A photon shielding code based on the point-kernel method has been developed. The code, entitled PUTZ, allows the specification of three-dimensional source and body geometries using simple parallelepipeds and annular parallelepipeds, and permits the inclusion of multiple sources and multiple detectors in a single case. A flexible free-form type input format is used, and attenuation data and material buildup factors are contained within the code for selected materials. Versions of the code are available for running on an IBM mainframe computer and an IBM-PC microcomputer (or compatible). A comprehensive user's manual is provided, which describes the basic algorithms, input requirements, output listings, and major limitations.
