Book excerpt: This book introduces nuclear data to the newcomer and provides a basic introduction to the role of nuclear data as the foundation of nuclear structure study. The material presented assumes no prior knowledge of the content or language used in communicating details of nuclear data. The approach builds on basic concepts: from gross properties of nuclei, through properties of quantum excited states, to simple model perspectives. The role of spectroscopy is thoroughly integrated, across all types of measurements, with many illustrations, to show how properties of nuclei are deduced. The basic technical methods needed for the deduction of nuclear properties from raw data are presented in animated figures, video tutorials, and accompanying PowerPointa presentations. The level of presentation provides access for students and researchers in applied areas that use nuclear data, e.g., medical applications and nuclear security. Overall, the book focuses on pedagogy and accessibility to the data aspect of nuclear physics. Part of IOP Series in Nuclear Spectroscopy and Nuclear Structure.

A total of 328 persons from 37 countries and fIve international organizations participated. The scope of these Proceedings extends to a wide range of interdisciplinary topics dealing with measu rement, calculation, evaluation and application of nuclear data, with a major emphasis on numerical data. Both energy and non-energy related applications are considered and due attention is given to some fundamental aspects relevant to the understanding of nuclear data.

Monte Carlo methods and Markov chains in posterior analysis are discussed next along with an introduction to nuclear imaging and applications. The final chapter includes illustrative examples of statistical computing based on Poisson-multinomial statistics. Examples include calculation of Bayes factors and risks, and Bayesian decision making and hypothesis testing.

Download or read book Consistency Among Differential Nuclear Data and Integral Observations written by and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful nuclear design requires adequate prediction of integral design parameters, and this in turn requires an adequate differential nuclear data base. Data bases that apparently permit reduced biases and design margins have been developed by a) least squares adjustment of differential data or b) trial-and-error selection from alternative evaluated data sets. Criticisms and defenses of such procedures are discussed. Useful data adjustment is related to consistency of the combined differential-integral data set and consistency tests related to least squares adjustment procedures are described. An approach to data adjustment is suggested that is contingent on consistency analysis. A FORTRAN code ALVIN has been developed to carry out the indicated data consistency and adjustment calculations, and to compute required sensitivities of integral parameters to nuclear data changes. The sensitivity modules of ALVIN are validated by computing with two distinct methods the cross-section sensitivity profile for neutron penetration through a thick iron shield. The data consistency and adjustment modules DAFT2 (for arbitrary variance-covariance data) and DAFT3 (for differential data base of arbitrary size uncorrelated with integral data) are validated by comparing their results for a set of data for three ZPR criticals. 2 figures, 5 tables, 51 references (auth).

This book was released on 2014 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the development and analysis of computational methods for efficiently accessing and utilizing nuclear data in Monte Carlo neutron transport code simulations. Using the OpenMC code, profiling studies are conducted in order to determine the types of nuclear data that are used in realistic reactor physics simulations, as well as the frequencies with which those data are accessed. The results of the profiling studies are then used to motivate the conceptualization of a nuclear data server algorithm aimed at reducing on-node memory requirements through the use of dedicated server nodes for the storage of infrequently accessed data. A communication model for this algorithm is derived and used to make performance predictions given data access frequencies and assumed system hardware parameters. Additionally, a new, accelerated approach for rejection sampling the free gas resonance elastic scattering kernel that reduces the frequency of zero-temperature elastic scattering cross section data accesses is derived and implemented. Using this new approach, the runtime overhead incurred by an exact treatment of the free gas resonance elastic scattering kernel is reduced by more than 30% relative to a standard sampling procedure used by Monte Carlo codes. Finally, various optimizations of the commonly-used binary energy grid search algorithm are developed and demonstrated. Investigated techniques include placing kinematic constraints on the range of the searchable energy grid, index lookups on unionized material energy grids, and employing energy grid hash tables. The accelerations presented routinely result in overall code speedup by factors of 1.2-1.3 for simulations of practical systems.

The results obtained by the individual CRP participants are consolidated for each benchmark specification and conclusions are drawn on the specifications, modelling approaches and user effects, and computer codes used in the analysis. This publication supplements IAEA Technical Report Series No. 480, Research Reactor Benchmarking Database: Facility Specification and Experimental Data, which was developed within the same CRP. The publication is intended for use by operating organizations, researchers, regulatory bodies, designers and other interested parties involved in the safety, operation and utilization of research reactors. The individual country reports are available on the attached CD¬ROM.
