Gamma distribution in eignvalue simulation of MTR

Hi,

I am modelling Beam Tube in an MTR.
Along with flux optimisation I also want to know the gamma distribution at the entrance of Beam for proper shielding. Source of gamma is chain reaction of neutrons e.g radiative capture.

How can I, simultaneously, tally both neutron and gamma flux in the simulation.

Hi @SamiCodhen,

I’d take a look at the ParticleFilter class. It will separate tally events based on the particle type.

Thankyou Patrick.

When I set

settings.photon_transport=True

keff changes from 1.07 to 0.98.
And one more thing, can we run neutron-photon coupled simulation in eignvalue mode. Where gammas from neutron reactions are generated and transported in the same simulation.
