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 کاملHybrid Radiosity/Monte Carlo Methods
Monte Carlo methods refer to any method that uses random numbers to get an approximate answer to a problem. In computer graphics Monte Carlo techniques can be used to perform radiosity calculations and can be used in distribution ray tracing for effects such as soft shadows and motion blur. Although these notes are for a course on radiosity, they have a great deal of material from a previous Si...
متن کاملCommon misconceptions in Monte Carlo particle transport.
Monte Carlo particle transport is often introduced primarily as a method to solve linear integral equations such as the Boltzmann transport equation. This paper discusses some common misconceptions about Monte Carlo methods that are often associated with an equation-based focus. Many of the misconceptions apply directly to standard Monte Carlo codes such as MCNP and some are worth noting so tha...
متن کاملParticle Markov chain Monte Carlo methods
Markov chain Monte Carlo and sequential Monte Carlo methods have emerged as the two main tools to sample from high dimensional probability distributions.Although asymptotic convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms is ensured under weak assumptions, the performance of these algorithms is unreliable when the proposal distributions that are used to explore the space are poorly chosen and...
متن کاملMonte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods
Monte Carlo is one of the most versatile and widely used numerical methods. Its convergence rate, O(N~^), is independent of dimension, which shows Monte Carlo to be very robust but also slow. This article presents an introduction to Monte Carlo methods for integration problems, including convergence theory, sampling methods and variance reduction techniques. Accelerated convergence for Monte Ca...
