Exact Monte Carlo calculation method for <i>K</i>-eigenvalue change using perturbation source method

A method for range calculation of proton in liquid water: Validation study using Monte Carlo method and NIST data

Introduction: The main advantage of using ion beams over photons in radiotherapy is due to their inverse depth-dose profiles, allowing higher doses to tumors, while better sparing normal tissues. When calculating dose distributions with ion beams, one crucial point is the uncertainty of the Bragg-peak range. Recently great effort is devoted to enhance the accuracy of the comput...

Perturbation Theory Eigenvalue Sensitivity Analysis with Monte Carlo Techniques

Methodologies to calculate adjoint-based first-order-linear perturbation theory sensitivity coefficients with multigroup Monte Carlo methods are developed, implemented, and tested in this paper. These techniques can quickly produce sensitivity coefficients for all nuclides and reaction types for each region of a system model. Monte Carlo techniques have been developed to calculate the neutron f...

Calculation of Source-detector Solid Angle, Using Monte Carlo Method, for Radioactive Sources with Various Geometries and Cylindrical Detector

In this paper source-detector solid angle calculation has been studied by Monte Carlo method, and a computer program is represented. Since most experimental works in nuclear physics are done by using of cylindrical detectors, the solid angle of this type of detector is calculated for various sources. The source in various shapes of a point, cylinder, sphere, or rectangle, may be located in any ...

The Monte-Carlo Method

The Monte Carlo Method

The Monte Carlo method is often referred to as a ‘computer experiment’. One might think of this as a way of conveying the fact that the output of simulations is not an equation, as in conventional theory. Instead, numbers appear on the computer screen in somewhat the same way that numbers appear on a measuring device in the laboratory. Thus there is the implication that somehow simulations are ...
