Deterministic linear Boltzmann transport equation (D-LBTE) algorithm • Model based approach have problem to account for the effect of electron transport - secondary electron transport only modeled macroscopically by scaling of kernels • LBTE is the governing equation that describes the macroscopic behavior of ionizing particles as they travel through and interact with media

• system of the coupled LBTE is solved to determine the energy deposition of photon and electron transport • once the electron angular fluence is solved, the dose in any region, i, of the problem may be obtained through the following
