Some modifications of the Diffusion Synthetic Acceleration (DSA) technique are proposed to face its loss of effectiveness when dealing with highly anisotropic scattering. A model case convergence analysis of the proposed techniques is performed; an extensive set of comparisons with results obtained by means of already assessed DSA modification techniques is reported for various scattering cross-section configurations. The importance of non asymptotic convergence velocity as a theoretical means to characterize and optimize different acceleration methods is also discussed.
