Abstract
We present an extension to the well-known peel off optimization for Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations. The classical method is only applicable when the distance between the detector and the peel off event is much bigger than the size of the detector. We use two alternatives to the classical method and calculate the peel off intensity via a subdivision and an integration method. We compare their performance for a realistic scenario and derive guidelines for a general treatment. This allows for precise peel off calculations at any distance to the detector surface.
