Abstract:
The Test Particle Monte Carlo technique with null collisions as proposed by
Skullerud is derived directly from the linear Boltzmann equation including electric
and magnetic field effects. To this aim the formal solution is written as the average
of a Poisson distribution of multiple time integrals. The statistical properties of the
stochastic processes used in the Monte Carlo method follow as natural
requirements for the calculation of this average.
