Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around collecting and studying input files for the Monte Carlo Universal (MCU) code, particularly in various settings such as reactors and experiments. Participants share their experiences and seek specific examples of MCU input files.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses interest in MCU-5 and seeks diverse input files for various applications, indicating a desire to learn from others' experiences.
- Another participant recommends the book "Radiation Problems: From Analytical to Monte Carlo Solutions," suggesting it contains valuable examples, though they are unsure about sharing the book in PDF format.
- A later reply questions the relevance of the recommended book, noting that it primarily contains MCNP code, which differs from MCU input files that use a distinct configuration language.
- There is a concern about the legality of uploading copyrighted materials, emphasizing the need for moderation in sharing resources.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not reach a consensus on the relevance of the recommended book to MCU input files, indicating a disagreement on the applicability of the resource.
Contextual Notes
There is uncertainty regarding the specific content of the recommended book and its applicability to MCU, as well as the legality of sharing copyrighted materials.
