Description

The results on the propagation of the x-ray diffuse component in the atmosphere, using the Monte Carlo Method, are presented. A comparison of this method with the one that assume only the direct component is performed, showing that the scattered component must be considered in the total flux. (Author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Apresenta-se os resultados sobre a propagacao da componente difusa de raio-x na atmosfera, usando o methodo de Carlo. Uma comparacao deste metodo com um outro que assume somente a componente direta e feita, mostrando que a componente espalhada deve ser considerada no fluxo total. (M.C.K.)
