Basic Monte Carlo Steps
 Sample energy of photon created by electron
 Sample angles  and  between incoming electron and created photon
 Select distance to the first interaction
 Probability that the photon will travel a distance l without interaction is
exp(-m l)
 m dl is the probability to interact
 Probability to interact between l and l+dl is given by m exp(-m l) dl
