Monte Carlo Simulation of Emission Frequencies from Partial Frequency Redistribution Functions.

Abstract

Simple and efficient algorithms are presented for randomly selecting photon emission frequencies from a class of partial frequency redistribution functions. These formulas are developed by applying some basic rules of probability theory, in particular, Bayes' rule. Theoretical proofs of these formulas are given, and numerical values of the generated frequency distributions are presented to validate the algorithms. These algorithms are intended for Monte Carlo studies of photon diffusion problems. (Author)
