Application of Space-Angle Synthesis to Two-Dimensional Neutral-Particle Transport Problems of Weapon Physics.

Abstract

A space-angle synthesis (SAS) method has been developed for treating the steady-state, two dimensional transport of neutrons and gamma rays from a point source of simulated nuclear weapon radiation in air. The method was validated by applying it to the problem of neutron transport from a point source in air over a ground interface, and then comparing the results to those obtained by DOT, a state-of-the-art, discrete-ordinates code.
