Moment-preserving Computational Approach for High Energy Charged particle Transport

Abstract

An algorithm for generating Generalized Boltzmann Fokker-Plank (GBFP) discrete cross-section data and the implementation of the discrete and hybrid models in Geant4 are described. A test suite with various problems of interest was completed and many of the results from the test suite are presented. Several tools for tallying quantities of interest required for the test suite were incorporated. New analog and GBFP models that utilize elastic DCS data were implemented and testing of the implementation is currently in progress.
