Explicit Temperature Treatment in Monte Carlo Neutron Tracking Routines — First Results

This article discusses the preliminary implementation of the new explicit temperature treatment method to the development version Monte Carlo reactor physics code Serpent 2 and presents the first practical results calculated using the method. The explicit temperature treatment method, as introduced in [1], is a stochastic method for taking the effect of thermal motion into account on-the-fly in...

Efficient Sequential Monte Carlo Using Interpolation

A limitation common to all sequential Monte Carlo algorithms is the computational demand of accurately describing an arbitrary distribution, which may preclude real-time implementation for some systems. We propose using interpolation to construct a high accuracy approximation to the importance density. The surrogate density can then be efficiently evaluated in place of sampling the true importa...

Quantum Monte Carlo Calculations for Light Nuclei

Quantum Monte Carlo calculationsof ground and low-lying excited states for nuclei with A 8 are made using a realistic Hamiltonian that ts NN scattering data. Results for more than 40 diierent (J ; T) states, plus isobaric analogs, are obtained and the known excitation spectra are reproduced reasonably well. Various density and momentum distributions and electromagnetic form factors and moments ...

Improving Multiparton Monte Carlo Tools in Hadronic Collisions⋆

Recent work on leading order multiparton calculations for hadronic collisions is reviewed, with special emphasis on the ALPGEN event generator. Some problems connected with the interface of the partonic events generated via matrix elements with the showering are addressed.
