The Neutron Transport Equation (NTE) describes the flux of neutrons through an inhomogeneous fissile medium. In this paper, we reconnect the NTE to the physical model of the spatial Markov branching process which describes the process of…
The neutron transport equation (NTE) describes the flux of neutrons across a planar cross-section in an inhomogeneous fissile medium when the process of nuclear fission is active. Classical work on the NTE emerges from the applied…
The Neutron Transport Equation (NTE) describes the flux of neutrons through inhomogeneous fissile medium. Whilst well treated in the nuclear physics literature (cf. [9, 27]), the NTE has had a somewhat scattered treatment in mathematical…
This paper continues our treatment of the Neutron Transport Equation (NTE) building on the work in [arXiv:1809.00827v2], [arXiv:1810.01779v4] and [arXiv:1901.00220v3], which describes the flux of neutrons through inhomogeneous fissile…
Over the last decade, ingenuous developments in Monte Carlo methods have enabled the unbiased estimation of adjoint-weighted reactor parameters expressed as bilinear forms, such as kinetics parameters and sensitivity coefficients. A…
The analytical solution of neutron transport equation has fascinated mathematicians and physicists alike since the Milne half-space problem was introduce in 1921 [1]. Numerous numerical solutions exist, but understandably, there are only a…
The SP3 approximation of the neutron transport equation allows improving the accuracy for both static and transient simulations for reactor core analysis compared with the neutron diffusion theory. Besides, the SP3 calculation costs are…
A simple Monte Carlo procedure is described for simulating the multiple scattering and absorption of electrons with the incident energy in the range 1-50 keV moving through a slab of uniformly distributed material of given atomic number,…
For a number of applications like low-source reactor start-up or neutron coincidence counting it is necessary to take into account the stochastic nature of neutron transport and go beyond the average neutron density, which is solution of a…
In two and three dimensions, we analyze a finite element method to approximate the solutions of an eigenvalue problem arising from neutron transport. We derive the eigenvalue problem of interest, which results to be non-symmetric. Under a…
Neutrino-matter interactions play an important role in the post-merger evolution of neutron star-neutron star and black hole-neutron star mergers. Most notably, they determine the properties of the bright optical/infrared transients…
We test approximate approaches to solving a neutrino transport problem that presents itself in the analysis of some accretion-disk models. Approximation #1 consists of replacing the full, angular- dependent, distribution function by a…
Neutrinos have an unique quantum feature as flavor conversions. Recent studies suggested that collective neutrino oscillations play important roles in high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Quantum kinetic equation (QKE) is capable of…
This paper presents a novel stochastic method for modeling the transport of Delayed Neutron Precursors (DNPs) in liquid nuclear fuel. The method incorporates advection and diffusion effects into the Monte Carlo solution of the neutron…
Stochastic difference equations and a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) are simultaneously derived for the time-dependent neutron angular density in a general three-dimensional medium where the neutron angular density is a…
Neutrino transport and neutrino-matter interactions are known to play an important role in the evolution of neutron star mergers, and of their post-merger remnants. Neutrinos cool remnants, drive post-merger winds, and deposit energy in the…
The adjoint equation was introduced in the early days of neutron transport and its solution, the neutron importance, has ben used for several applications in neutronics. The work presents at first a critical review of the adjoint neutron…
In this work we investigate replacing standard quadrature techniques used in deterministic linear solvers with a fixed-seed Quasi-Monte Carlo calculation to obtain more accurate and efficient solutions to the neutron transport equation…
Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory has achieved a remarkable success in describing and understanding nuclear many-body dynamics from nucleons' degrees of freedom. We here report our investigation of multinucleon transfer (MNT)…
In nuclear fusion and fission, fluctuation and dissipation arise due to the coupling of collective degrees of freedom with internal excitations. Close to the barrier, both quantum, statistical and non-Markovian effects are expected to be…
