[1N08] Estimation of systematic uncertainty in PHITS using bootstrap method

*Shintaro Hashimoto1, Tatsuhiko Sato1 (1. JAEA)

Keywords:PHITS, particle transport simulation code, systematic uncertainty, bootstrap method

PHITS based on the Monte Carlo method has been used for many purposes such as radiation shielding in accelerator facilities. We developed a function to estimate reliabilities of the results as systematic uncertainties based on ANOVA, where their distributions are assumed to be normal. However, another estimation method is required when the assumption is not satisfied. In this study, we will discuss the reliability of confidence interval estimated by the bootstrap method, which is one of the statistical methods.
