Abstract
The Monte Carlo code, which has been used previously to simulate the t ransport of positrons in aluminium and copper, was modified for simula ting the positron transport in silver, tin, gold and lead with inciden t positron energies in the range of 159-960 keV. The calculated result s have been compared with available experimental data and predictions from other calculations. Usually good agreement is observed except in cases of backscattering.
