EGS (Electron Gamma Shower)

Description: The EGS computer code system is a general purpose package for the Monte Carlo simulation of the coupled transport of electrons and photons in an arbitrary geometry for particles with energies from a few keV up to several TeV. Some have referred to the EGS code as the de facto gold standard for clinical radiation dosimetry.
