An approximation for black-body x-ray transport in air
Description
A simplified method is presented for approximating the air-transported x-ray spectrum from nuclear detonations in the atmosphere. Computational time is reduced such that a desk-top computer can provide results that match, within ±10% for a wide range of conditions, Monte Carlo results which require 5-10 times greater computation time on a Cray.
