Scientific paper

The Monte Carlo method and a 'collision-by-collision' algorithm are used to simulate transport of proton-hydrogen fluxes in N2. Initial proton fluxes with energies from 1 keV to 1 MeV are considered for monodirectional and isotropic angle distributions in the downward hemisphere. Particular attention is given to the impact of different angle scattering models on an energy deposition function, average penetration depth, and albedo. Scattering to the average angle compared with forward scattering does not give any difference for these transport characteristics. A comparison with a continuous slowing-down approximation indicates that the normalized energy deposition function depends strongly on the initial energy and does not coincide for any energy with the universal function (Rees, 1982).
