Monte Carlo simulation of charged species kinetics in weakly ionized gases

In this tutorial work, the Monte Carlo method to simulate the kinetics of charged particles in weakly ionized gases is explained. The method is collocated in the wider context of the general Monte Carlo and propagation methods. Besides providing the necessary background to develop basic models for the linear and the non-linear transport case, some more advanced topics are treated, e.g. the inclusion of the thermal distribution of neutral particles and the differential weighting technique.
