The MARS15(2012) is the latest version of a multi-purpose Monte-Carlo code developed since 1974 for detailed simulation hadronic and electromagnetic cascades in an arbitrary 3-D geometry shielding, accelerator, detector spacecraft components with energy ranging from fraction electronvolt to 100 TeV.Driven by needs intensity frontier projects their Megawatt beams, e.g., ESS, FAIR Project X, has been recently substantially improved extended.These include inclusive exclusive particle event generators 0.7 12 GeV range, proton inelastic interaction modeling below 20 MeV, implementation EGS5 shower at energies 1 keV stopping power description compound materials, new module DPA calculations neutrons eV 20-150 user-friendly DeTra-based method calculate nuclide inventories, ROOT-based geometry.
