Abstract: We introduce briefly a synthetic kernel method for radiation transport equation and analyse computational error and convergence.Quadrature sets and error amendment technique are proposed to improve computational accuracy of synthetic kernel method.By using quadrature sets and error amendment technique synthetic kernel method yields accurate results even with low orders.

Key words: synthetic kernel approximation, radiation transport, quadrature sets, error amendment
