# Goupil [![Documentation Status][RTD_BADGE]][RTD]
(_**G**amma transp**O**rt **U**tility, a**P**proximate but revers**I**b**L**e_)

Goupil is a Monte Carlo transport engine designed for low-energy gamma-rays
(0.1-3 MeV), typically emitted from radioactive isotopes. By using a backward
transport algorithm, and making a few approximations, Goupil can significantly
accelerate Monte Carlo simulations, resulting in computation time savings of up
to 5 orders of magnitude in the air.
