Photonuclear Neutron Production in OpenMC: Verification Against MCNPX, FLUKA, and a First-Collision Analytical Solution
Lorenzo Loi, Andrea Missaglia, Carolina Introini +4
The modeling of photonuclear reactions is increasingly important for applications involving high-energy photon fields, including accelerator-driven neutron sources, radiation shiel…
Bayesian evidence adaptive pursuit to identify neutron sources with scatter-based spectrometers
David Breitenmoser, William Heriot, Peter Marleau +2
Reliable neutron source identification is essential for nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and homeland security, but remains challenging because neutron spectral inversion is o…
Improving the Predictive Capability of the Fission Reaction Event Yield Algorithm ()
A. E. Tuckey, R. Vogt, D. Breitenmoser +3
We determine the optimal parameters for thermal neutron-induced fission of U and Pu in the complete event fission model . First, we revisit…
Identifying Neutron Sources using Recoil and Time-of-Flight Spectroscopy
David Breitenmoser, Ricardo Lopez, Shaun D. Clarke +1
Neutron-source identification is central to nuclear physics and its applications, from planetary science to nuclear security, yet direct source discrimination from measured neutron…
