An approach is presented to construct operators for transforming the characteristics of incident radiation to transmitted radiation, as well as operators for transforming the transmitted radiation to measured values. Simu-lating the radiation transport is based on Monte Carlo modeling of the interaction of X-ray photons and electrons with matter. The proposed method permits to construct, for instance, the operator connecting the initial radiation spectrum with the absorbed photon energy penetrating a given object. The elaborated approach provides the possibility of effective mathematical modeling of radiation techniques such as radiography, treating complex multi-component objects. Moreover, the method can be used to construct the operator equation for solving in-verse problems, e.g. the reconstruction of the initial radiation spectrum using simple experimental measure-ments. Comparison with some experimental measurements is presented.
Statistical algorithms are presented for modeling the interaction processes between electrons and matter. A software
implementation has been developed for hybrid supercomputers making use of NVIDIA© CUDA©
technology. Standard Monte Carlo schemes are modified for effectively exploiting the parallel computing capabilities
of graphical processors. The model of individual collisions (MIC) is used to describe the interaction of
electrons with atoms. This model does not include the approximations assumed in multiple collision theory or
the continuous slow down approach with the Landau theory for energy-loss fluctuations. The distributions of
electron characteristics are obtained from tabulated electron cross section data. The examples discussed in this
paper demonstrate the applicability of the algorithms to investigating the interaction of electrons with X-ray tube
targets producing Bremsstrahlung. The proposed technique can be used for mathematical modeling in radiography.
