Neutron clustering in Monte Carlo iterated-source calculations
Monte Carlo neutron transport codes generally use the method of successive generations to converge the fission source distribution to—and then maintain it at—the fundamental mode. Recently, a phenomenon called “clustering” has been noted, which produces fission distributions that are very far from t...
