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;

What type of energy is actually stored inside an atom? When an atom is split—such as in a nuclear explosion—it releases enormous energy, much of it in the form of gamma-ray electromagnetic radiation. Given this, is it correct to say that the energy stored in the atom is fundamentally electromagnetic (EM) energy? If not, how should we properly understand the nature of the energy that binds the nucleus and is released during fission?
