We report the details of our numerical procedure which may use both pure Metropolis sampling and Biased (Langevin) sampling. We conclude by showing a series of test calculations we have performed both on atomic and molecular impurities. application/pdf eng IOP Publishing https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Enrico Bodo, Emanuelle Coccia, David López-Durán y Franco Antonio Gianturco: “Ionic dopants in He droplets: cluster energies from a variational and diffusion Monte Carlo approach”, Phys.
