United States MCNP/X Intermediate Workshops

Get the accurate results you need in less time with fewer mistakes!!!

In 2011, we are offering three workshops in the states, one on the West coast in Las Vegas, one in Chicago and one on the East coast in Washington DC.  This is one less workshop than we normally hold in the states, so sign up early to make sure a place is reserved for you.

For United States Workshops only:
Cost of the U.S. workshops is $2300 US with an early payment discount of $300 (i.e., if paid 30 days before the first day of the scheduled workshop).  This fee includes applicable Gross Receipt taxes.  Workshops with fewer than 10 registrants on the early registration date are subject to cancellation or rescheduling.

In order to process non-US citizens by the class date, non-US citizens shall register at least six weeks prior to the start of the training class.  All non-US citizens who reside in countries listed in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 810.8, are required to register at least eight weeks prior to the start of the training class.  These participants must be processed by the DOE has been obtained.

To register, send an email to Randy Schwarz, indicating the workshop of interest to you.

MCNPX Workshops Descriptions

MCNPX experts from Los Alamos will lead in the teaching of these workshops on the capabilities of MCNPX.

 

These workshops go at a much faster pace and cover more material in greater depth than the MCNP/X introductory workshops.  The small workshop size enables a variable format that focuses on topics of interest to the individual participants and on participant's specific Monte Carlo problems.

 

Topics included are:

• Variance reduction - how to speed up and converge your problems better than ever;

• Mistakes even the most experienced MCNP/X users make 10% of the time.

• Latest code capabilities - tally tagging, pulse height anti-coincidence detectors, delayed gammas, spontaneous photons from radioactive sources, and more.

The latest MCNPX version (2.7.0) distributed by RSICC is used in this workshop.  Features include:

• ACT card for controlling activation

• Cyclic time-bin option

• Photofission multiplicity option

• Pulsed source options

• Delayed-particle production

• Tally tagging

• Tally plot upgrades

• LET tally

• Focused beam sources

• PTRAC coincidence option

• MCPLOT arithmetic commands

• LLNL photofission multiplicity option

• Receiver-operator characterization (ROC) tally option

• Pulse-height light tally: triple and quadruple coincidences

• Time-dependent F8 tallies using the pulse-height light option
