    Neutron quantity normalization in an eigenvalue computation

    According to my knowledge, MCNP is using (as most of the MC calculation codes) the power iteration method, as explained in the following document: https://mcnp.lanl.gov/pdf_files/la-ur-06-7094.pdf In particular, this method is detailed after page 14. As a consequence, my question is well defined...

    A How to Extract Decay Chain Data from ENSDF Files?

    Dear community, I am trying to construct the decay chains and the decay radiations from ENSDF files. Until now, I have used the ones included in the ENDF6 file format such as JEFF3 or ENDFBVIII etc... However, I have been told that ENSDF was especially done for decay data. I found the software...

    Neutron quantity normalization in an eigenvalue computation

    Thank you Astronuc for your reply and sorry for the time I took to answer. Using the power iteration algorithm, I compute the k-eigenvalue. It s a mathematical method that permits to compute the eingenvalue and the associated eigenvector (the flux) by iterations, just like it is done within...

    Neutron quantity normalization in an eigenvalue computation

    Dear Community, I am having a question. I have developed a simple code to perform iteration power algorithm and find the keff value of a system. However, it is not still totally clear in my mind if I have to normalize all my scores by the eigenvalue, i.e. multiply by the keff (fluxes, power...

    Is MCNP capable of scoring fission spectrum?

    Hi everybody, I am trying to score fission spectrum in MCNP for a kcode calculation. I would like to check at which energy neutrons produced by fission are generated. I have no idea how to perform since tallies are usually volume or material dependent and I just want to build a spectrum...
