Abstract

For Monte Carlo simulated irradiation of any detector having a non-vanishing volume, immersed in a spatially dependent field of radiation, points of incidence of irradiating particles may be determined and then be either accepted or rejected according to the evaluation of a probabilistic model. The model could be based on either the differential arc method or the projected area method discussed in this paper. These two sampling algorithms were developed in order to precisely approximate experimental irradiation conditions for purposes of computer simulated irradiation. In addition, direction cosines describing the paths of travel of particles incident from any spatially dependent source field may be assigned according to a sampling algorithm applicable to any analytically defined isotimic surface where the partial derivatives exist and are continuous.
