Programs for the Landau and the Vavilov distributions and the corresponding random numbers

Title of program: LANDAU
Catalogue Id: AAUI_v1_0

Nature of problem
The Landau and the Vavilov distributions are used to describe the energy loss of charged particles traversing a thin layer of matter. For Monte Carlo stimulations it is of particular interest to have a random number generator for these distributions.

项目标题：LANDAU

目录编号：AAUI_v1_0

问题性质：

朗道（Landau）分布与瓦维洛夫（Vavilov）分布被广泛应用于描述带电粒子穿越薄物质层时的能量损失现象。在蒙特卡洛模拟中，对于此类分布的随机数生成器尤为关键。

本程序的不同版本存放在Mendeley数据平台上的CPC程序库中：AAUI_v1_0；LANDAU；10.1016/0010-4655(74)90091-5。

该程序已从位于贝尔法斯特女王大学（1969-2019年）的CPC程序库中导入。
