Radiation Transport Modeling Using Parallel Computational Techniques, William Culbreth, Denis Beller
Reactor Campaign (TRP)
The second year of this project involved modeling several aspects of the LANCSE beam experiments:
- Modeling targets of varying diameter in air, in a vacuum, and in the presence of humid air;
- Modeling various proton beam profiles;
- Modeling the effects of off-axis proton beam impingement on the target;
- Modeling the asymmetry introduced by the steel table below the target;
- Modeling the effect of varying ratios of Pb to Bi and the effect of impurities; and
- Modeling the system, including other structures within the test room.
With the experience gained through modeling these systems, the UNLV researchers plan, with the assistance …
