How to Simulate Charged-Particle Energy-Loss Straggling in MCNP5?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to simulate charged-particle energy-loss straggling using MCNP5, including inquiries about sample code and resources for examples. The scope includes practical applications and resource identification related to the MCNP5 software.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Participants inquire about creating sample code or simulations for charged-particle energy-loss straggling in MCNP5.
  • Some participants suggest checking MCNP help files and conducting Google searches for existing examples.
  • One participant mentions a specific resource, a book available on ResearchGate, that contains many examples relevant to the topic.
  • Another participant notes that if the charged particles in question are electrons, MCNP5 may be suitable, but for other types of charged particles, a different version of MCNP or an alternative program might be necessary.
  • Participants repeatedly request specific sites or resources for MCNP5 samples, indicating a need for more directed guidance.
  • A participant references a helpful resource thread pinned in the Nuclear Engineering forum that includes links to information about MCNP.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for resources and examples related to MCNP5, but there is uncertainty regarding the suitability of MCNP5 for different types of charged particles.

Contextual Notes

Some limitations include the lack of specific examples provided in the discussion and the dependency on the type of charged particles being simulated, which may affect the choice of software.

Welcome to PF.

What have you seen in your MCNP help files? Have you actually done a Google search for such examples? My brief Google search effort yielded lots of good hits.

Thank you very much for your answer sir. Can you suggest a site or resource about mcnp5 samples?
 
Hi,
For example, in this books there are many examples,

I did a Google search on MCNP Examples and got lots of good hits. Perhaps try that... :wink:

Just a note on 'charged particles'. If these are electrons then MCNP5 may be of use. If they need to be anything else then another version of MCNP, or another program entirely will be needed.
