Application of IRDF2002 dosimetry data to shielding benchmarks using the Monte Carlo code MCBEND
The IRDF2002 dosimetry cross-section data are processed into very fine energy groups and added to the detector response library for the Monte Carlo code MCBEND. The IRDF2002 covariances are processed into broad groups to form a MCBEND detector covariance library. A number of benchmark experiments are analysed using MCBEND with both IRDF2002 and IRDF90 data and the results compared. Uncertaintie...
متن کاملAdjoint-based deviational Monte Carlo methods for phonon transport calculations
In the field of linear transport, adjoint formulations exploit linearity to derive powerful reciprocity relations between a variety of quantities of interest. In this paper, we develop an adjoint formulation of the linearized Boltzmann transport equation for phonon transport. We use this formulation for accelerating deviational Monte Carlo simulations of complex, multiscale problems. Benefits i...
متن کاملAutomated Variance Reduction of Monte Carlo Shielding Calculations Using the Discrete Ordinates Adjoint Function
Although the Monte Carlo method is considered to be the most accurate method available for solving radiation transport problems, its applicability is limited by its computational expense. Thus, biasing techniques, which require intuition, guesswork, and iterations involving manual adjustments, are employed to make reactor shielding calculations feasible. To overcome this difficulty, we have dev...
متن کاملNeutron 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 calculations
A Monte Carlo simulation using the PRESTA version of the EGS4 code has been employed as an investigative tool to calculate the absorbed dose in water close to 192Ir wire implants. It has been shown that a treatment planning system, such as GE Target II, using the Sievert integral and the Meisberger polynomial is only able to reproduce the Monte Carlo results at radial distances of 1 mm and fart...
