Study of collision and -cascade times following neutron-capture processes in cryogenic detectors
CRAB collaboration, G. Soum-Sidikov, H. Abele +47
The emission of -rays after a neutron capture in a cryogenic detector can generate mono-energetic nuclear recoils in the sub-keV regime, of direct interest for the calibration o…

Generational variance reduction in Monte Carlo criticality simulations as a way of mitigating unwanted correlations
Kévin Fröhlicher, Eric Dumonteil, Loïc Thulliez +2
Monte Carlo criticality simulations are widely used in nuclear safety demonstrations, as they offer an arbitrarily precise estimation of global and local tallies while making very…
