Geant4

by Holger Kluck (Author)
Nominated as an outstanding Ph. D. thesis by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Germany
Verifies the reliability of the Monte Carlo package Geant4 in simulating the production of muon-induced neutrons
Extends the scarce data on the production yield of muon-induced neutrons in lead by a precise and well documented measurement
Develops a detailed model of the detector response on muon-induced neutrons for an extensive investigation of systematic uncertainties

This book discusses the general principles of the Monte Carlo method with an emphasis on techniques to decrease simulation time and increase accuracy.

Over the past few decades, the radiological science community has developed and applied numerous models of the human body for radiation protection, diagnostic imaging, and nuclear medicine therapy. The Handbook of Anatomical Models for Radiation Dosimetry provides a comprehensive review of the development and application of these computational models, known as phantoms.

This book offers a detailed exposition of the numerical methods that are used in engineering and science. This book would be an interesting supplement for the practicing engineers, scientists, and graduate students.
