Nelson, W R; Hirayama, H; Rogers, D W.O.

The EGS (Electron Gamma Shower) system of computer codes is a general purpose package for the Monte Carlo simulation of the coupled transport of electrons and photons in an arbitrary geometry for particles with energies above a few keV up to several TeV. This report introduces a new, enhanced version called EGS4. In addition to explaining and documenting the various enhancements and charges to the previous version (EGS3), this document includes several introductory and advanced tutorials on the use of EGS4 and also contains the EGS4 User Manual, the PEGS4 User Manual and an EGS4 User Guide to Mortran 3. 81 refs., 40 figs., 9 tabs.
