ANS Electron-Photon Transport Sessions

Some of you may have interest in attending the two sessions (October 31)on 
coupled electron and photon transport methods/applications at the Winter ANS 
Meeting in San Francisco.  One session was to be devoted entirely to the ITS 
codes, but the program committee changed it somewhat.  The papers are as 
follow:

Photon and Electron Transport Methods and Applications I (8:30 am, Oct 31)
1.  "Version 4.0 of ITS Electron/Photon Monte Carlo Transport Codes," John 
     Hableib et al. (SNL)
2.  "ITS -- Some Practical Advice," R. P. Kensek et al. (SNL)
3.  "Parallelization of ITS on IBM SP2 Computer," G. D. Valdez (SNL)
4.  "Physics of ETRAN and ITS Electron-Photon Monte Carlo Codes," S. M. 
     Seltzer (NIST)
5.  "Status of Electron Transport in MCNP," H. G. Hughes (LANL)
6.  "Multigroup Boltzmann-Fokker-Planck Electron-Photon Transport Capatility 
     in MCNP," K. J. Adams et al. (LANL)
7.  "Accurate, Easy Monte Carlo Simulation on Personal Computers," H. S. 
     Miley (PNL)

Session II (1:00 pm, Oct. 31)
1.  "Monte Carlo Simulation of Dose Distribution in Tubing Using the 
     Integrated TIGER Series," D. E. Weiss (3M) et. al (Raychem & SNL)
2.  "Adjoint ITS Calculations Using the CEPXS Electron-Pnoton Cross Sections, 
     "  L. J. Lorence et al.(SNL)
3.  "Spectral Characterization of a Flash X-Ray Diffraction Transmission 
     System," J. L. Champion (Johns Hopkins Univ) et al. 
4.  "Use of ITS to Develop a Methodology for Determining Mammographic X-Ray 
     Spectrum End-Point Energies," M. E. Napolitano et al. (Georgia Tech and 
     Medical College of Georgia)
5.  "Revised Gastrointestinal Tract Model for Calculation of Absorbed 
     Energy," J. W. Poston, Jr. (ANL-Idaho) et al. (Texas A & M University, 
     Univ. of Florida)
6.  "Tissue-Equivalent Detector Photon Response Matrix," J. L. Lobdell (TVA) 
     et al. (Georgia Tech)

I might also add to the discussion about ANS on the WWW by adding that the 
Radiation Protection and Shielding Division has recently constructed a 
homepage ----  http://epicws.epm.ornl.gov
