The Integrated TIGER Series (ITS) of Coupled Electron/Photon Monte Carlo Transport Codes

A review of RSICC software for medical and health physics

“…PENELOPE: PENetration and Energy LOss of Positrons and Electrons (CCC-682) [6] [7], permits a state-of-the-art Monte Carlo solution of linear time-integrated coupled electron/photon radiation transport problems with or without the presence of macroscopic electric and magnetic fields of arbitrary spatial dependence.…”

Validation par la mesure d’ŒDIPE, outil d’évaluation de la dose interne personnalisée

“…Les sections efficaces photoniques sont issues de Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (Hubbell et al, 1975). Le transport des électrons est dérivé du code ITS3.0 (Halbleib et al, 1992). L'incertitude statistique (1 écart-type), proportionnelle à , N étant le nombre de particules simulées, est estimée par le code pour chaque résultat obtenu.…”

Hot Electron Diagnostic in a Solid Laser Target by K-Shell Lines Measurement from Ultra-Intense Laser-Plasma Interactions R=1.06 (micron)m, 3x10 W/cm -2(less than or equal to) 500 J

“…Details of the laser intensity profile and the structures are discussed in ref. 23 . For the longer laser pulse shots at 20 ps and 5 ps, no deformable mirror was used.…”

“…Comparing the experimental variation of K-shell emissions obtained experimentally to a monte-carlo model enables the characterization of hot electron temperature and laser-to-electron conversion efficiency. This paper reports the results of K-shell ( K a and KP) emission measurements from a buried layer on Petawatt laser shots [23] at LLNL. In our experiments, the laser energy was typically 400 J, and the laser power was varied from 20 TW up to -1 PW (10" up to 3~1 0~' W cm-2) by decreasing the pulse duration of the laser from 20 ps to 0.5 ps.…”
