To determine the saturation limit of electron yield from gamma photon incidence on a metal sheet using MCNP, one must analyze the results per particle generated by the simulation. It is feasible to run simulations with varying particle numbers, such as from 10^6 to 10^12, to observe changes in electron yield and identify the saturation point. The saturation limit can be assessed by comparing the yield at different particle counts until a plateau is reached. Proper calibration and understanding of the material properties are essential for accurate results. Ultimately, MCNP can effectively model these interactions to find the saturation limit of electron yield.

TL;DR: Electron yield by photon saturation in mcnp

How to check the the saturation limit of electron yield by gamma photon incident on a metal sheet using mcnp. As I know that mcnp give result per Particle , but how can I check the final saturation limit of that metal. Is it possible to check it for different numbers from 10e6 to 10 e12 to see the saturation limit

Thread 'The Nuclear Power Thread'

I'd like to start a discussion/debate of nuclear power for the purpose of informing people about it. I am participating in a thread in another forum http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=9370 where we are discussing an article about Germany planning to phase out nuclear power. I am STRONGLY against this. It is bad for scientific, economic, political, and environmental reasons. In the course of discussions of the nuclear power issue, it seems to me that the arguements...
