This discussion focuses on simulating parallel beams for neutrons and photons using MCNP5 and MCNPX. Users can achieve this by utilizing the "sdef" parameters, specifically "dir", "axs", "vec", and "rad". A referenced thesis titled "DESIGN OF A NEUTRON SPECTROMETER AND SIMULATIONS OF NEUTRON MULTIPLICITY EXPERIMENTS WITH NUCLEAR DATA PERTURBATIONS" may provide additional insights and methodologies for these simulations.

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