Application of Monte Carlo method in modelling physical and physico-chemical processes

The seminar was held on September 9 and 10, 1982 at the Faculty of Nuclear Science and Technical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The participants heard 11 papers of which 7 were inputed in INIS. The papers dealt with the use of the Monte Carlo method for modelling the transport and scattering of gamma radiation in layers of materials, the application of low-energy gamma radiation for the determination of secondary X radiation flux, the determination of self-absorption corrections for a 4π chamber, modelling the response function of a scintillation detector and the optimization of geometrical configuration in measuring material density using backscattered gamma radiation. The possibility was studied of optimizing modelling with regard to computer time, and the participants were informed of comouterized nuclear data libraries. (M.D.)
