New method of sampling the Klein-Nishina probability distribution for all incident photon energies above 1 keV (a revised complete account). [Monte Carlo method, differential cross sections]
A Monte Carlo method is given for determination of the scattered photon energy in the distribution required by the Klein-Nishina differential cross section for Compton collision, with a relative error not exceeding 2.2 percent over the infinite range of incident energies above 1 keV. A self-contained account is given of the method and the underlying theory, and is intended to supersede earlier less complete reports. A somewhat revised flow chart is included which should help to reduce running time.
