Abstract
The design of a Monte Carlo electron transport code is described, with particular attention being given to the modeling of multiple-scatteri ng, ionization, and bremsstrahlung production. Comparisons of code pre dictions with experimental data are presented, together with simple ra diation therapy applications.
