Monte Carlo analysis of a neutron streaming experiment

This paper reports on the analysis of neutron spectra emitted form a 14-MeV source and streaming through a void steel duct embedded in concrete carried out using a multigroup Monte Carlo code on a small computer. The calculated results are compared with experimental results and with other calculational analyses involving continuous energy Monte Carlo methods. The computational methods agree when the PN expansion of the multigroup method is sufficiently extended. Some discrepancies with the experimental results, found in earlier analyses, still remain; and these are investigated with regard to the use of a new modification of the evaluated iron data, the spreading of the calculated results for comparison with experimental spectra, and various other modeling details
