<strong>Accuracy</strong> <strong>of</strong> multiple scattering<br />
Multiple scattering is a dominant physical effect for e-<br />
<strong>EGSnrc</strong> uses a multiple scattering <strong>the</strong>ory developed by<br />
Kawrakow (NIMB 134 (1998) 325-336)<br />
It has <strong>the</strong> advantage <strong>of</strong> seamlessly converting into a<br />
single scattering <strong>the</strong>ory for very short steps.<br />
Recently <strong>the</strong>re have been some high quality<br />
measurements done by my ex-colleagues at NRC to test<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ory as implemented in <strong>EGSnrc</strong><br />
