SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on interpreting the output of MCNP Tally F5, specifically regarding collided and uncollided photon flux. Beginners are guided to consider both types of flux for accurate calculations in simulations, as real-world experiments cannot differentiate between them. Users are encouraged to share their input files for better assistance and to understand the rationale behind choosing Tally F5 over other tally types.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code)
