DiffMod – statistical 2D simulation model of neutron propagation and moderation
DiffMod is a simulation program for the evolution of a neutron ensemble in a thermal target – moderator – reflector assembly of a pulsed neutron source based on the statistical description of diffusion, scattering, moderation, and absorption processes. The spatial resolution, the energy resolution and the diffusion directions are strongly restricted to achieve calculation times in a realistic moderator – reflector assembly below 1 hour. In comparison with Monte-Carlo simulations describing the geometry and interactions between neutrons and moderator material exactly, we prove that the DiffMod approach can deliver intensities and pulse shapes that are exact within 10% compared to the Monte-Carlo simulations that require much more computing power. In addition, a time-resolved illustration of the spatial distribution of the neutrons at different energy levels is provided.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
