PENELOPE-2006: A Code System for Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron and Photon Transport
TL;DR: The PENELOPE as mentioned in this paper computer code system performs Monte Carlo simulation of coupled electron-photon transport in arbitrary materials for a wide energy range, from a few hundred eV to about 1 GeV.
GEANT Detector Description and Simulation Tool
Rene Brun,L. Urbán,M. Maire,Federico Carminati,Simone Giani,F. Bruyant,G. Patrick,A. C. McPherson +7 more
TL;DR: GEANT as discussed by the authors is a system of detector description and simulation tools that help physicists in high energy particle physics experiments, and it can be used to design and optimise the detectors, develop and test the reconstruction and analysis programs, and interpret the experimental data.

Correlation between CT numbers and tissue parameters needed for Monte Carlo simulations of clinical dose distributions
TL;DR: A new method to convert CT numbers into mass density and elemental weights of tissues required as input for dose calculations with Monte Carlo codes such as EGS4 is described, and no loss of accuracy is accepted when using the interpolation functions.

The Monte Carlo simulation of ion chamber response to 60Co-resolution of anomalies associated with interfaces
TL;DR: The reliability of Monte Carlo calculations of ion chamber response depends critically upon the details of the electron transport, particularly at media interfaces as mentioned in this paper, which can lead to anomalous results which the authors call "interface artefacts".

An inexpensive large area shower detector with high spatial and energy resolution
V. K. Bharadwaj,M.P. Cain,D. O. Caldwell,B. H. Denby,A.M. Eisner,U.P. Joshi,A. Lu,R. J. Morrison,D.R. Pfost,D. J. Summers,S. J. Yellin,D. E. Pellett,T. Nash +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 59-layer lead-liquid scintillator shower detector has been tested in an electron beam at SLAC and the energy resolution is about 9%/√E. The detector is optically segmented into counters by means of thin, teflon-coated, bent aluminum panels.
