Benchmarking Monte Carlo Codes for Criticality Safety Using Subcritical Measurements
Monte Carlo codes that are used for criticality safety evaluations are typically validated using critical experiments in which the neutron multiplication factor is unity. However, the conditions for most ssile material operations do not coincide to those of the critical experiments. This paper demonstrates that Monte Carlo methods and nuclear data can be validated using subcritical measurements...
متن کامل2003 review of neutron and non-neutron nuclear data.
This paper reviews the scientific literature for new measurements of both non-neutron and neutron nuclear data. Some of the highlights of this review are the following items. There was a withdrawal of a previous claim for discovery of element 118. There have been new measurements of some isotopic abundance values that have led to changes for many elements. There was a new set of recommended sta...
متن کاملNeutron Structure Functions From Nuclear Data
The spin-averaged structure function of the neutron, F n 2 , is extracted from recent deuteron data, taking into account the small but significant corrections from nuclear effects in the deuteron. At small x, the F D 2 /F p 2 ratio measured by the New Muon and Fermilab E665 Collaborations is interpreted to suggest a small amount of shadowing in deuterium, which acts to enhance F n 2 for x < ∼ 0...
متن کاملParity Violating Measurements of Neutron Densities and Nuclear Structure
Parity violating electron nucleus scattering is a clean and powerful tool for measuring the spatial distributions of neutrons in nuclei with unprecedented accuracy. Parity violation arises from the interference of electromagnetic and weak neutral amplitudes, and the Z of the Standard Model couples primarily to neutrons at low Q. Experiments are now feasible at existing facilities. We show that ...
متن کاملNeutron Properties in the Nuclear Medium Studied by Polarization Measurements
Objective: In the quark-model picture of the nucleon, a free nucleon placed in the strong field of the nucleus has its structure modified. The nuclear-medium modifications of the nucleon are expected to affect the ratio of the bound neutron electric to magnetic formfactor ratio GE/G ∗ M in comparison to that of the free neutron GE/GM . The ratio of these quantities at low momentum transfer depe...
