Content of review 1, reviewed on May 06, 2014

The idea of simulating many scattering events using a single 'super event', often by modifying the parameters of the medium, is a common approximate MC acceleration technique in particle transport. Please comment in detail (here and/or at SIGGRAPH) about the relationship between your work and previous condensed history methods.

Specifically:

  • "On the condensed history technique for electron transport", Kawrakow and Bielajew 1998

  • "A transport condensed history algorithm for electron monte carlo simulations", Tolar and Larsen 2001

  • "Monte carlo electron dose calculations using discrete scattering angles and discrete energy losses", Franke and Prinja 2005

  • "Condensed history Monte Carlo methods for photon transport problems", Bhan and Spanier 2007

Thanks.
