In this paper, the authors present the new ray-tracing program SHADOW, which was originally designed for the XUV optics range, but is now completely general, with particular emphasis on the synchrotron radiation applications.
Abstract
We present the new ray-tracing program SHADOW. The program was written specifically for the XUV optics range, but is now completely general. Its capabilites are discussed in terms of the physical basis on which the program is built, with particular emphasis on the synchrotron radiation applications.

Ray Tracing Of Recent VUV Monochromator Designs

TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte-Carlo modeling of several types of sources is implemented, and in particular the Synchrotron Radiation source is modelled exactly, and the reflectivity of mirror surfaces and transmission of filters is treated exactly and locally, solving the Fresnel equations for each ray.
