Neutron Transport Calculations Using Monte-Carlo Methods
Fusion reactions from direct-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) release large amounts of stored nuclear energy. Most of it is given off as energetic neutrons. Plastic scintillators are used as detectors for these neutrons. The neutrons that interact with the scintillator produce photons that are recorded using a photomultiplier tube on a f...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Noise Reduction Using Bayesian Method in Wavelet domain
A novel post-processing approach for removing Monte Carlo noises in synthetic images is presented in this paper. This paper first presents our findings on the statistical characteristics of the Monte Carlo noise, and then proposes a Bayesian method to remove this noise. The aim of this approach is to efficiently produce high quality synthetic images using Monte Carlo based rendering at low samp...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo study of SPECT in boron neutron capture therapy for a heterogeneous human phantom
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a binary radiotherapy combining biochemical targeting with neutron irradiation. However, monitoring the boron distribution is a fundamental problem in BNCT. Prompt gamma rays emitted by boron capture reaction can be used to address the issue. Materials and Methods: The general-purpose Monte Carlo toolkits Geant4 and MCNP were used for the simu...
متن کاملA New Assembly-level Monte Carlo Neutron Transport Code for Reactor Physics Calculations
This paper presents a new assembly-level Monte Carlo neutron transport code, specifically intended for diffusion code group-constant generation and other reactor physics calculations. The code is being developed at the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT), under the working title “Probabilistic Scattering Game”, or PSG. The PSG code uses a method known as Woodcock tracking to simulate neu...
متن کاملNew Methods for the Monte Carlo Simulation of Neutron Noise Experiments in Ads
This paper presents two improvements to speed up the Monte-Carlo simulation of neutron noise experiments. The first one is to separate the actual Monte Carlo transport calculation from the digital signal processing routines, while the second is to introduce non-analogue techniques to improve the efficiency of the Monte Carlo calculation. For the latter method, adaptations to the theory of neutr...
