5.3.13. Triangle prism source

The parameters for the triangle prism source are shown below. The order of parameters is free. Parameters with (D=***) are optional.

Table 5.3.134 x0

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

x coordinate of the origin apex of the triangle [cm].

Table 5.3.135 y0

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

y coordinate of the origin apex of the triangle [cm].

Table 5.3.136 z0

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

z coordinate of the origin apex of the triangle [cm].

Table 5.3.137 x1

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

x vector from the origin to the first apex [cm].

Table 5.3.138 y1

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

y vector from the origin to the first apex [cm].

Table 5.3.139 z1

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

z vector from the origin to the first apex [cm].

Table 5.3.140 x2

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

x vector from the origin to the second apex [cm].

Table 5.3.141 y2

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

y vector from the origin to the second apex [cm].

Table 5.3.142 z2

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

z vector from the origin to the second apex [cm].

Table 5.3.143 x3

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

x vector from the origin to the third apex [cm].

Table 5.3.144 y3

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

y vector from the origin to the third apex [cm].

Table 5.3.145 z3

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

z vector from the origin to the third apex [cm].

Table 5.3.146 exa

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

Attenuation coefficient. exa > 0 gives \(\exp(-ax)\), and exa = 0 gives a uniform distribution.

Table 5.3.147 dir

value

explanation

(D=1.0)

Direction cosine of the projectile relative to the z-axis.

all

Isotropic source.

data

An a-type subsection is required.

Table 5.3.148 phi

value

explanation

(D=all)

Azimuthal angle [degree].

all

Randomly selected in the range from 0 to 360 degrees.

Table 5.3.149 dom

value

explanation

(D=0.0)

Solid angle spread [degree].

-1

\(\cos^2\) bias distribution.

Table 5.3.150 e0

value

explanation

For mono-energy source, specify the projectile energy [MeV/n]. For an energy spectrum, use e-type = instead.

Table 5.3.151 e-type

value

explanation

mono-energy source

Give the source energy [MeV/n] directly by e0.

energy spectrum

Specify the source energy distribution by e-type.
