An Efficient Monte Carlo Algorithm for a Restricted Class of Scattering Problems in Radiation Transfer
Alan M. Watson, William J. Henney
We describe an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for a restricted class of scattering problems in radiation transfer. This class includes many astrophysically interesting problems, i…
