 Workshop Description

Participants MUST get MCNP/MCNPX from RSICC prior to the class.  Currently, RSICC has waived the cost-recovery fee and you can get it at no cost.  Bring proof of ownership to the workshop.

 

This workshop will be taught using the latest version of MCNP/MCNPX.

 

The class will be taught with an experienced MCNPX team member.  This will provide a unique learning experience for those looking for a deeper understanding of the MCNPX code.

 

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

The class will be taught using the standard MCNPX graphics package.
