SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on resolving issues with obtaining gamma results at 719 KeV using MCNPX 2.6. The recommended approach involves using an F8 tally for the germanium cell, as specified in the referenced paper, rather than the typical F4 tally. Additionally, it is suggested to install a proton library for B-11, as the current MCNP pack may lack this resource, which could be contributing to the problem.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of MCNPX 2.6 simulation software
