This book was released on 2012 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges the gap between theory and experiment through the Monte Carlo method. Photon transport studies in nuclear sciences is incomplete without the application of statistical techniques. Here PENELOPE, which is one of the most advanced Monte Carlo codes, has been applied, on the platform of FORTRAN G77, using photon energies of Co, Cs and Am sources, to reveal complex phenomena which cannot be accomplished analytically or through laboratory experiments. The author highlighted the essentials of Monte Carlo methods and went further by developing a random number generator which can replace the existing one in PENELOPE. Lead and aluminum material slabs which are widely used as nuclear shields and detector end-cup housing have been used and photon paths, through them, are simulated and presented as pictorial showers which are good pedagogical tools in nuclear radiation studies. Gamma ray shielding depths are determined with safety, ease and precision without consulting physical experiment. Transmitted, absorbed and backscattered photons through the slabs have been simulated. Finally the author validated results which clearly illustrates the importance of the book.

Download or read book Monte Carlo Technique Applied to the Calculation of Gamma ray Transport in Compartmented Structures written by LeRoy G. Haggmark and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Monte Carlo computer code was assembled to calculate the transport of gamma rays in three-dimensional, rectangular geometry. The code uses the statistical estimation technique to compute the flux and dose at several space points. The code was applied to two compartmented iron structures that had been experimentally investigated. The Monte Carlo and experimental results compare well, i.e., within 20 percent, in most cases. In a few cases for one structure, where the radiation was incident at large angles from the normal to one wall, the comparison between the results was less than satisfactory. The experimental value was a factor of 6 greater that the Monte Carlo value in the worst case. (Author).
Download or read book A Monte Carlo Primer written by Stephen A. Dupree and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mathematical technique of Monte Carlo, as applied to the transport of sub-atomic particles, has been described in numerous reports and books since its formal development in the 1940s. Most of these instructional efforts have been directed either at the mathematical basis of the technique or at its practical application as embodied in the several large, formal computer codes available for performing Monte Carlo transport calculations. This book attempts to fill what appears to be a gap in this Monte Carlo literature between the mathematics and the software. Thus, while the mathematical basis for Monte Carlo transport is covered in some detail, emphasis is placed on the application of the technique to the solution of practical radiation transport problems. This is done by using the PC as the basic teaching tool. This book assumes the reader has a knowledge of integral calculus, neutron transport theory, and Fortran programming. It also assumes the reader has available a PC with a Fortran compiler. Any PC of reasonable size should be adequate to reproduce the examples or solve the exercises contained herein. The authors believe it is important for the reader to execute these examples and exercises, and by doing so to become accomplished at preparing appropriate software for solving radiation transport problems using Monte Carlo. The step from the software described in this book to the use of production Monte Carlo codes should be straightforward.

This book was released on 1958 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A method is developed and compared in efficiency with the standard Monte Carlo method. An idealized transport equation for which there exists a simple analytic solution is used to effect the comparison. It is shown that the proposed method is much more efficient than the standard Monte Carlo method. (No biased sampling techniques are used.).
Download or read book Monte Carlo Transport of Electrons and Photons written by T.M. Jenkins and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For ten days at the end of September, 1987, a group of about 75 scientists from 21 different countries gathered in a restored monastery on a 750 meter high piece of rock jutting out of the Mediterranean Sea to discuss the simulation of the transport of electrons and photons using Monte Carlo techniques. When we first had the idea for this meeting, Ralph Nelson, who had organized a previous course at the "Ettore Majorana" Centre for Scientific Culture, suggested that Erice would be the ideal place for such a meeting. Nahum, Nelson and Rogers became Co-Directors of the Course, with the help of Alessandro Rindi, the Director of the School of Radiation Damage and Protection, and Professor Antonino Zichichi, Director of the "Ettore Majorana" Centre. The course was an outstanding success, both scientifically and socially, and those at the meeting will carry the marks of having attended, both intellectually and on a personal level where many friendships were made. The scientific content of the course was at a very high caliber, both because of the hard work done by all the lecturers in preparing their lectures (e. g. , complete copies of each lecture were available at the beginning of the course) and because of the high quality of the "students", many of whom were accomplished experts in the field. The outstanding facilities of the Centre contributed greatly to the success. This volume contains the formal record of the course lectures.

Download or read book Monte Carlo Studies of Gamma ray and Neutron Transport in Infinite Homogeneous Media written by Theodore E. Fessler and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two point-source, infinite-medium Monte Carlo codes were written for the IBM 704 computer. The codes simulate respectively gamma-ray and neutron transport from a monoenergetic source. A detailed description, including importance sampling methods, is given. Results showed good agreement with moments-method calculations for the same geometry. Calculations for 6-Mev gamma rays in tin provide data on the contribution of annihilation radiation to both the buildup factors and energy spectra. Calculations for 1-Mev gamma rays in water are also presented. The results of calculations for 6-Mev source neutrons in water show a peak in the energy spectrum which is found to be due to single scattering of source particles from oxygen. (Author).
Download or read book The MORSE Code written by and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MORSE code is a multipurpose neutron and gamma-ray transport Monte Carlo code. Through the use of multigroup cross sections, the solution of neutron, gamma-ray, or coupled neutron-gamma-ray problems may be obtained in either the forward or adjoint mode. Time dependence for both shielding and criticality problems is provided. General three-dimensional geometry, as well as specialized one-dimensional geometry descriptions, may be used with an albedo option available at any material surface. A detailed discussion of the relationship between forward and adjoint flux and collision densities, as well as a detailed description of the treatment of the angle of scattering, is given in the appendices. Logical flow charts for each subroutine add to the understanding of the code.
