Szwarcbaum, I. and Shaviv, G., 1976

. A Monte-Carlo method for the radiation field in plant canopies. Agric. Meteorol., 17: 333--352.

A Monte-Carlo model for evaluating the radiation field inside plant canopies is developed. The model is based on tracing the history of a parcel of light through the leaves of the canopy and it includes such effects as reflection by leaves, the distribution of leaves and their orientations, the geometry of the canopy, ground reflection etc. The model can be easily expanded to include additional special features.

Numerical examples of the radiation field inside a hypothetical canopy and some properties of the albedo are given.

Measured response functions and low photon yield spectra of silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) were compared to multi-photoelectron pulse-height distributions generated by a Monte Carlo model. Characteristic parameters for SiPM were derived. The devices were irradiated with 14 MeV electrons at the Main
