ADJOINT MONTE-CARLO ELECTRON-TRANSPORT IN THE CONTINUOUS-SLOWING-DOWN APPROXIMATION uri icon

abstract

  • A model is developed for the Monte Carlo solution of the adjoint transport equation for primary electrons in one dimension. Energy loss is treated in the continuous-slowing-down approximation. The model also employs the condensed-history approximation required in forward Monte Carlo models for transport in extended media. It is tested extensively through numerous calculations of energy deposition and transmission coefficients in aluminum. Predictions are compared with results of the corresponding forward model. Agreement is generally very good. Small discrepancies are attributed to the use of uninterpolated tabular electron cross section data in both forward and adjoint models. 1980.
