ABSTRACT

The common view of dose calculations held by many physicists is that there is Monte Carlo, the gold standard, and then there is everything else. If Monte Carlo is the gold standard, then perhaps the BTE is the silver standard. If it were possible to solve the transport equation in its full generality, the solution would provide all possible macroscopic information about the radiation field without concern about statistics and microscopic fluctuations. The catch is that the transport equation is virtually impossible to solve in its full generality. It therefore becomes a question of the assumptions and approximations that are necessary to solve this equation.
