Abstract
Monte Carlo Methods are described for use in the calibration and optimum design of radiation gauges and analyzers. The advantages of the use of specific Monte Carlo models designed for a particular gauge or analyzer are discussed relative to the use of existing general purpose Monte Carlo codes. The extensive use of variance reduction techniques based on fundamental physical principles and properties of the particular system of interest is stressed in the design of these Monte Carlo models.Keywords
