ABSTRACT
This chapter is devoted to the application of the Monte Carlo method to a simplied particle transport problem. As indicated earlier, the method provides the ability of performing experiments on a computer and estimating expected behavior of particles and their interactions in a medium. For further discussion on the use of the Monte Carlo methods in particle transport, readers should consult the following books by Dunn and Shultis [2012]; Greenspan, Kelber, and Okrent [1968]; Kalos and Whitlock [2008]; Lux and Koblinger [1990]; Morin [1988]; and Spanier and Gelbard [2008]. Several code manuals, e.g., MCNP and PENLOPE, provide a good discussion on the methodology.
