The use of an inbuilt importance generator for acceleration of the Monte Carlo code MCBEND
- 1. UKAEA Atomic Energy Establishment, Winfrith (UK)
Description
Monte Carlo is currently the most accurate method for the analysis of neutron and gamma-ray transport. However its application, especially to deep penetration studies, is costly in terms of the man-days to set up the calculation and in terms of computer usage. The MAGIC module, developed at the Winfrith Technology Centre, addresses both these problems. It employs an automated procedure based upon the established technique of splitting/roulette with an importance function derived from the solution of the adjoint diffusion equation. Examples are given of the application of the module with Monte Carlo code MCBEND
