Abstract
A simple Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of the passage of γ rays of about 1 MeV in a medium is presented. In this energy range the only relevant processes are Compton scattering and photoelectric absorption. The algorithm allows the visualization of the photon tracks as well as the calculation of many quantities of interest. Several problems for a layer and a cylinder are proposed. In particular, the energy transferred to electrons in a water cylinder as a function of depth and the line shape of a NaI scintillator is calculated.
