This paper introduces a new acceleration technique for the convergence of the solution of transport problems with highly forward-peaked scattering. The technique is similar to a conventional high-order/low-order (HOLO) acceleration scheme. The Fokker-Planck equation, which is an asymptotic limit of the transport equation in highly forward-peaked settings, is modified and used for acceleration; this modified equation preserves the angular flux and moments of the (high-order) transport equation. We present numerical results using the Screened Rutherford, Exponential, and Henyey-Greenstein scattering kernels and compare them to established acceleration methods such as diffusion synthetic acceleration (DSA). We observe three to four orders of magnitude speed-up in wall-clock time compared to DSA.
