Abstract: The atmosphere is a kind of non-uniform media,whose density drops rapidly with the increase of height.In order to simulate transport of gamma ray in high-altitude atmosphere,the media is divided into many uniform layers with different densities.To eliminate error,the number of layers should be as many as possible,which results in a large amount of computation.We propose a method without layering.It samples mass distance to replace step length of particles.The results agree well with those calculated directly by MCNP code.The method increases speed of computation considerably.

Key words: gamma ray, non-uniform atmosphere particle, transport, Monte Carlo method
