Delayed-gamma signature calculation for neutron-induced fission and activation using MCNPX, Part III: Transport theory

In Parts I and II, we presented the MCNPX Monte Carlo delayed-gamma theory and illustrative simulation results. The complexity and diversity of the relevant physics items can render the comprehension of their scope and interrelationship difficult. In Part III we augment the Monte Carlo formulation o...

Description
Summary:In Parts I and II, we presented the MCNPX Monte Carlo delayed-gamma theory and illustrative simulation results. The complexity and diversity of the relevant physics items can render the comprehension of their scope and interrelationship difficult. In Part III we augment the Monte Carlo formulation of Part I using transport theory as a means of showing the physics content for the MCNPX delayed-gamma feature.
