Semi-classical Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of X-ray grating interferometry

Abstract Traditional simulation techniques such as wave optics methods and Monte Carlo (MC) particle transport cannot model both interference and inelastic scattering phenomena within one framework. Based on the rules of quantum mechanics to calculate probabilities, we propose a new semi-classical M...
