5.2.11. Options for low energy neutrons¶
The following parameters are used for neutrons with energies less than 20 MeV.
Value |
Explanation |
(D=0.0)
|
Threshold energy for neutron capture [MeV]:
implicit capture is considered above this energy; analog capture is considered below this energy.
|
Value |
Explanation |
(D=1)
|
Options for fission neutrons
|
=0
|
Turn off fission: fission is treated as simple capture.
|
=1
|
Normal fission producing neutrons.
|
Value |
Explanation |
(D=0)
|
Option for \(S(\alpha,\beta)\) .
|
=0
|
No interpolation.
|
=1
|
Perform interpolation of the data of \(S(\alpha,\beta)\) , which should be specified for calculations with thin targets in which particle scattering rarely occurs.
|
Value |
Explanation |
(D=0)
|
Option for small angle neutron scattering (SANS) in thermal neutron scattering library.
|
=0
|
No SANS model.
|
=1
|
Activates the SANS model included in the thermal scattering file. Requires a special thermal scattering file with the SANS parameters.
