The physics of proton therapy has advanced considerably since it was proposed in 1946.
Today analytical equations and numerical simulation methods are available to predict and …

Photo pair productions of electrons, muons, and heavy leptons and bremsstrahlung of
electrons and muons are reviewed. Atomic and nuclear form factors necessary for these …

Not quite six years have passed since the appearance of the first edition of this book. This is
not a long period. Yet the rapid pace of scientific and technological development today is …

This document acts as a repository of knowledge for the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP)
transport computer code. It is maintained alongside the source code and attempts to …

It was about ninety years ago that Galton and Watson, in treating the problem of the
extinction of family names, showed how probability theory could be applied to study the …

A bstract Properties of the Higgs boson are measured in the H→ ZZ→ 4ℓ (ℓ= e, μ) decay
channel. A data sample of proton-proton collisions at\(\sqrt {s}= 13\) TeV, collected with the …

The computer code system penelope (version 2014) performs Monte Carlo simulation of
coupled electron-photon transport in arbitrary materials for a wide energy range, from a few …

Almost a century ago, Lévy (1925) first explored stable distributions in his study of sums of
random terms. The basic mathematical facts about stable laws were described in the …

This manual is a practical guide for the use of our general-purpose Monte Carlo code
MCNP. The first chapter is a primer for the novice user. The second chapter describes the …

This book is a guide to the practical application of statistics in data analysis as typically
encountered in the physical sciences. It is primarily addressed at students and professionals …
