For ten days at the end of September, 1987, a group of about 75
scientists from 21 different countries gathered in a restored
monastery on a 750 meter high piece of rock jutting out of the
Mediterranean Sea to discuss the simulation of the transport of
electrons and photons using Monte Carlo techniques. When we first
had the idea for this meeting, Ralph Nelson, who had organized a
previous course at the "Ettore Majorana" Centre for Scientific
Culture, suggested that Erice would be the ideal place for such a
meeting. Nahum, Nelson and Rogers became Co-Directors of the
Course, with the help of Alessandro Rindi, the Director of the
School of Radiation Damage and Protection, and Professor Antonino
Zichichi, Director of the "Ettore Majorana" Centre. The course was
an outstanding success, both scientifically and socially, and those
at the meeting will carry the marks of having attended, both
intellectually and on a personal level where many friendships were
made. The scientific content of the course was at a very high
caliber, both because of the hard work done by all the lecturers in
preparing their lectures (e. g. , complete copies of each lecture
were available at the beginning of the course) and because of the
high quality of the "students", many of whom were accomplished
experts in the field. The outstanding facilities of the Centre
contributed greatly to the success. This volume contains the formal
record of the course lectures.
