Scores fluence in _user-defined_ regions (`volumetric`) or at a circular or rectangular field (`planar`) located in an arbitrary position in space. Scoring can be done for either photons, electrons or...

There are situations were `ranmar` gives wrong results. It is a better approach to have someone switch to the low resolution ranmar rng intentionally, than having users obtaining wrong results...

improvement

When using multiple energies, the accuracy required is systematically reduced from one energy to the next. High precision calculations with several energies will never finish because the desired precision becomes...

bug

The online egs++ manual PIRS-898 shows in the description/manuals of the C++ apps two Introduction sections in the list of contents. One link goes to the proper intro section while...

The PIRS-898 manual refers to these calculations using the stopping power at the bottom of the beam which is not what is currently implemented. This was the initial implementation but...

Fix bug in EGS_XYZRepeater hownear - Typo in hownear when particle in bounding box determining which of the repeated geometries to check: Using nz rather than nxy when computing index...

Turns on `EGSnrc` intrinsic range rejection (`rr`) efficiency increasing technique. **TODO:** Implement variance reduction technique (`VRT`) rr-based Russian roulette (`RR`)

improvement

Initial radiative splitting implementation naively just turned ON EGSnrc internal flag `nbr_split` to split brems and annihilation events uniformly. However no charged particle RR was played after pair production (`i_play_RR`)...

**Describe the bug** Segmentation fault error when loading a VHP geometry. **To Reproduce** 1. Define a `VHP geometry` 2. Load it in `egs_view` **Expected behavior** A proper VHP phantom should...
