EGS3(ID:7897/)

SLAC Monte Carlo system 


for Electron Gamma Shower

Monte Carlo simulation system developed from Nagel's Shower at SLAC in 1973

Used MORTRAN and FORTRAN IV to be machine independant

Includd ASGAB and HOWFAR routines (not quite independant languages) and the PEGS3 input standard (which was).
