ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF APOLLO3® AND TRIPOLI-4® NEUTRON NOISE SOLVERS [PDF]
Neutron noise analysis addresses the description of small time-dependent flux fluctuations in reactor cores, induced by small global or local perturbations of the macroscopic cross sections due to density fluctuations of the coolant, to vibrations of ...

Flow probe of symmetry energy in relativistic heavy-ion reactions [PDF]
Flow observables in heavy-ion reactions at incident energies up to about 1 GeV per nucleon have been shown to be very useful for investigating the reaction dynamics and for determining the parameters of reaction models based on transport theory.

Multi-species Neutron Transport Equation [PDF]
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 literature with a variety of different approaches (cf. [8, 25]).

Skin effect in neutron transport theory [PDF]
We identify a neutron-flux "skin effect" in the context of neutron transport theory. The skin effect, which emerges as a boundary layer at material interfaces, plays a critical role in a correct description of transport phenomena. A correct accounting of the boundary-layer structure helps bypass computational difficulties reported in the literature ...

Impact of an improved neutrino energy estimate on outflows in neutron star merger simulations [PDF]
Binary neutron star mergers are promising sources of gravitational waves for ground-based detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Neutron-rich material ejected by these mergers may also be the main source of r-process elements in the Universe, while radioactive

lp-CMFD acceleration schemes in multi-energy group 2D Monte Carlo transport
The linear prolongation flux update scheme is extended to both regular CMFD acceleration, as well as partial CMFD acceleration in 2D multi energy group Monte Carlo k-eigenvalue neutron transport problems.

Low mass binary neutron star mergers : gravitational waves and neutrino emission [PDF]
Neutron star mergers are among the most promising sources of gravitational waves for advanced ground-based detectors. These mergers are also expected to power bright electromagnetic signals, in the form of short gamma-ray bursts, infrared/optical ...

Neutron Stars—Cooling and Transport [PDF]
Observations of thermal radiation from neutron stars can potentially provide information about the states of supranuclear matter in the interiors of these stars with the aid of the theory of neutron-star thermal evolution. We review the basics of this theory for isolated neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, including most relevant thermodynamic ...
