Charged particles present some unique challenges for radiation transport codes. This is because charged particles have cross sections that are extremely forward peaked, are huge in the limit of small energy transfer, and are highly scattering, which causes slow convergence of the source iterations. The primary application of SCEPTRE is modeling radiation-driven electrical effects, so substantial effort has been invested in SCEPTRE for the efficient modeling of electron transport. This paper will summarize recent and ongoing activities involving the accurate deterministic-transport modeling of charged particles and methods implemented to improve iterative convergence.
