Have you ever considered implementing a collapsed cone algorithm?

[Erhushenshou]

In ray station, the singular decompostion method is only used for optimization. However, cc algorithm is used for calculation. Have you tried to implement cc algorithm?

[wahln]

We have considered it, but nobody here has the time to do it. We have a prototype for sub-sampling algorithm, but it is not very performant.

[Erhushenshou]

Could you share some inspiration or source code about cc algorithm? I'll invite some physicists here to have a try. It should be fun.

[wahln]

I don't really have something useful for this, but here's two thoughts.

• The first useful thing one could implement is explicit TERMA calculation, since it is required and may also be useful for other purposes
• It does probably not make sense to start without having good polyenergetic point-spread dose kernels to build the collapsed cones

[JAMKARAN]

I can generate the MC-based polyenergetic point-spread dose kernels (or polyenergetic energy deposition kernels) for this.
