Monte Carlo photon benchmark problems

  • 1. Brigham Young Univ., Provo, UT (USA)
  • 2. Los Alamos National Lab., NM (USA)

Description

Photon benchmark calculations have been performed to validate the MCNP Monte Carlo computer code. These are compared to both the COG Monte Carlo computer code and either experimental or analytic results. The calculated solutions indicate that the Monte Carlo method, and MCNP and COG in particular, can accurately model a wide range of physical problems. 8 refs., 5 figs
