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.
