Theoretical grounds for the propagation of uncertainties in Monte Carlo particle transport
arXiv:1401.4045 · doi:10.1109/TNS.2014.2300112
Abstract
We introduce a theoretical framework for the calculation of uncertainties affecting observables produced by Monte Carlo particle transport, which derive from uncertainties in physical parameters input into simulation. The theoretical developments are complemented by a heuristic application, which illustrates the method of calculation in a streamlined simulation environment.
