Structure and Operation of the ITS Code System

  • Chapter
Book cover Monte Carlo Transport of Electrons and Photons

Part of the book series: Ettore Majorana International Science Series ((EMISS,volume 38))

Abstract

The TIGER series of time-independent coupled electron-photon Monte Carlo transport codes is a group of multimaterial and multidimensional codes designed to provide a state-of-the-art description of the production and transport of the electron-photon cascade by combining microscopic photon transport with a macroscopic random walk1 for electron transport. Major contributors to its evolution are listed in Table 10.1.
