The penelope code system. Specific features and recent improvements

•penelope implements state-of-the-art models for electron and photon interactions.•It is characterized by a systematic use of class-II tracking of charged particles.•The code includes elaborate variance reduction methods and flexible geometry tools. Since its first release, back in 1996, the Monte C...
