A track length estimator method for dose calculations in low-energy X-ray irradiations: implementation, properties and performance

The track length estimator (TLE) method, an “on-the-fly” fluence tally in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, recently implemented in GATE 6.2, is known as a powerful tool to accelerate dose calculations in the domain of low-energy X-ray irradiations using the kerma approximation. Overall efficiency gains...
