Advanced Monte Carlo for Radiation Physics, Particle Transport Simulation and Applications

Abstract

Modelling the generalized oscillator strength (GOS) has shown itself to be a convenient way of treating inelastic scattering of electrons and positrons in Monte Carlo simulations [1-3]. In the Born approximation, the non-relativistic inelastic differential cross section for a positron or an electron colliding with an atom may be written as [4]
