Description

The summarized information in this article can contribute to answer the following questions: What is the Monte-Carlo method? What are the input data for a Monte-Carlo simulation of a radiation transport problem? What is the principal procedure for the simulation of the particle transport in matter? What are the most common Monte Carlo codes applied in radiation protection and dosimetry?
