Advanced Applications of Monte Carlo

The range of specialized radiation transport problems that can be analyzed using Monte Carlo methods is broad and extends well beyond the rudiments developed in the preceding chapters. The purpose of this chapter is to give the reader a brief introduction to some advanced radiation transport applications of Monte Carlo. The literature is full of special Monte Carlo techniques that allow users to attack sophisticated problems in radiation analysis as well as other fields of science, and the reader is referred to such literature for additional discussion of the topics treated in this chapter and for information on other advanced concepts.
