Monte Carlo Transport of Electrons and Photons [E-Book] / edited by Theodore M. Jenkins, Walter R. Nelson, Alessandro Rindi.
For ten days at the end of September, 1987, a group of about 75 scientists from 21 different countries gathered in a restored monastery on a 750 meter high piece of rock jutting out of the Mediterranean Sea to discuss the simulation of the transport of electrons and photons using Monte Carlo techniq...
