摘要: A new electron transport algorithm for use with Monte Carlo codes is presented. Its components are: a path-length correction (PLC) which based on the multiple scattering theory of Moliere and takes into account differences between straight path length total curved each step; lateral correlation (LCA) transport; boundary crossing (BCA) ensures that electrons are transported accurately in vicinity interfaces. The has been implemented EGS4 code system variety tests validating algorithms In its standard configuration, this will allow inexperienced user to obtain reliable results from EGS without having do detailed study parameters. many situations, substantial savings computing time may be realized comparison present algorithm. developments described report adapted other where same conclusions drawn.
