Modeling of Transport Equations via MC Methods

Monte Carlo methods for modeling particle-beam transport and thermal conduction are introduced. Procedures for generating interaction distances, scattering directions, and attenuation rates for particle ensembles are outlined. Two different simulation methods, the continuous slow-down approach and the discrete inelastic scattering method, are presented for particle-beam transport. These models are used in later chapters to simulate the electron-beam propagation inside a workpiece and to determine the electron-energy deposition profiles. Finally, detailed simulation procedures are given for thermal conduction by electrons and phonons including their ballistic behaviors.
