Abstract

Simulating particle beam interactions includes identifying a set of n functions F, F, . . . , Fcorresponding to a plurality of different physical aspects of a particle beam, performing simulations of each Fusing a full physics model, selecting for each Fa distribution function fthat models relevant behavior and reducing computation of the full physics model for each Fby replacing Fwith a distribution function f. The computation reduction includes comparing a set of simulations wherein each freplaces its respective Fto determine if relevant behavior is accurately modeled and selecting one of for Ffor each n, for a Monte Carlo simulation based on a runtime and accuracy criteria.
