Simulation of interactions of electrons and positrons with matter in MCU-PD code

The Monte Carlo method is used in the MCU code—an application package for solving equations of transport of neutrons, photons, electrons, and positrons. The code has a modular structure, and every working version of the code is formed from modules and submodules depending on the problem in question....

Description
Summary:The Monte Carlo method is used in the MCU code—an application package for solving equations of transport of neutrons, photons, electrons, and positrons. The code has a modular structure, and every working version of the code is formed from modules and submodules depending on the problem in question. The submodules BETA and BEG, included in the SOFIZM compound physical module of the MCU-PD code, are described: BETA submodule simulates interaction of electrons and positrons with matter and BEG submodule generates photons in the electron and positron reactions with matter. The library of constants which is involved in the MCUDB50 database and supports execution of the MCU-PD code is briefly characterized.
