28 Conclusions. Version.0 has been frozen and tested for all possible combinations of parameters 2. It is available at the AMANDA Software page and MMC homepage dima/work/muonpr/ muonpropagation.html 3. MMC gives very reliable, reproducible results that were checked against MUM 4. MMC is FAST, very fast 5. The number of options (ALLM and LPM, continuous randomization, exact time of flight, moliere scattering, stopped muon decay) and numerical settings (double, float, hifi, different romb settings) are not available anywhere else 6. MMC was tested to propagate muons and taus for energies up to ev for all possible numerical settings mentioned above and double romb=5 version is guaranteed to work for energies up to (with the usual disclaimer about the precision of our knowledge of the cross sections).
