PROGRAM 15-2, A MONTE CARLO CALCULATION OF GAMMA RAY SCATTERING IN AIR
Abstract
Shielding Computer Program 15-2 employs both Monte Carlo and numerical methods to calculate the energy spectrum and angular distribution of gamma rays at a point detector due to single and multiple scattering in air from a monoenergetic, monodirectional point source. The program is coded for an IBM 704 (and 7090) computer with a fast memory capacity of 32,768 storage locations. It is a much improved and enlarged code over program 15-1 which it supersedes. (auth)
