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…
TOUCANS: a versatile Monte Carlo neutron transport code based on Geant4
L. Thulliez, B. Mom, E. Dumonteil
This paper reports the development of TOUCANS, a new Monte Carlo neutron transport code fully written using the Geant4 toolkit. It aims at modeling complex systems easily and rapid…
Improvement of Geant4 Neutron-HP package: Doppler broadening of the neutron elastic scattering kernel and cross sections
M. Zmeškal, L. Thulliez, E. Dumonteil
Whether it is for shielding applications or for safety criticality studies, numerically solving the neutron transport equation with a good accuracy requires to precisely estimate t…
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…
Observation of a nuclear recoil peak at the 100 eV scale induced by neutron capture
CRAB Collaboration, NUCLEUS Collaboration, H. Abele +75
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering and low-mass Dark Matter detectors rely crucially on the understanding of their response to nuclear recoils. We report the first observ…
Percolation properties of the neutron population in nuclear reactors
Benjamin Dechenaux, Thomas Delcambre, Eric Dumonteil
Reactor physics aims at studying the neutron population in a reactor core under the influence of feedback mechanisms, such as the Doppler temperature effect. Numerical schemes to c…
