        Independent geometrical biasing of multiple particle types : the case of electrons in radiotherapy 20m

        In radiotherapy, biasing of bremsstrahlung photons can lead to large speed-up. But electrons sometimes hit the patient, with large weights compared to the photon ones. A geometrical biasing may alleviate the effect, but this could not be done so far.
