The effect of branchless collisions and population control on correlations in Monte Carlo power iteration
T. Bonnet, H. Belanger, D. Mancusi +1
The investigation of correlations in Monte Carlo power iteration has been long dominated by the question of generational correlations and their effects on the estimation of statist…
Variance Reduction and Noise Source Sampling Techniques for Monte Carlo Simulations of Neutron Noise Induced by Mechanical Vibrations
Hunter Belanger, Davide Mancusi, Amélie Rouchon +1
Neutron noise in nuclear power reactors refers to the small fluctuations around the average neutron flux at steady state resulting from time-dependent perturbations inside the core…
Unbiasedness and Optimization of Regional Weight Cancellation
Hunter Belanger, Davide Mancusi, Andrea Zoia
The Monte Carlo method is often used to simulate systems which can be modeled by random walks. In order to calculate observables, in many implementations the "walkers" carry a stat…
Exact weight cancellation in Monte Carlo eigenvalue transport problems
Hunter Belanger, Davide Mancusi, Andrea Zoia
Random walks are frequently used as a model for very diverse physical phenomena. The Monte Carlo method is a versatile tool for the study of the properties of systems modelled as r…
