Click For Summary
Simulation of parallel beams for neutrons and photons can be achieved using MCNP5 or MCNPX by utilizing the "sdef" parameters, specifically "dir," "axs," "vec," and "rad." A thesis on neutron spectrometer design and simulations may provide additional insights and methodologies for these simulations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly setting up these parameters to achieve accurate beam simulations. Participants are encouraged to explore the linked thesis for further guidance. Understanding these techniques is crucial for effective simulation in nuclear data applications.

TL;DR
tl;dr : how to simulate a parallel neutron beam
Hi,

I am interested in simulation of parallel beams for neutrons and photons (separately of course). Any ideas on how to simulate them in MCNP5 or MCNPX?

I found this thesis titled: DESIGN OF A NEUTRON SPECTROMETER AND SIMULATIONS OF NEUTRON MULTIPLICITY EXPERIMENTS WITH NUCLEAR DATA PERTURBATIONS. I hope it helps;

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...
