The Consortium for Monitoring, Technology, and Verification is hosting an MCNP/MCNPX-PoliMi Training Workshop online, May 5 – 7, 2020.
Instructors:
Prof. Brian Kiedrowski
Assistant Professor, University of Michigan
Dr. Shaun D. Clarke
Associate Research Scientist, University of Michigan
This workshop will occur online with instructors teaching remotely.
Participants will receive a link to the URL hosting the workshop in the weeks leading up to our event.
This three-day workshop will instruct users in the MCNP and MCNPX-PoliMi codes. Day 1 will cover the basics of MCNP simulations; days 2 and 3 will focus on applications of MCNPX-PoliMi. Full Workshop registration fees are $150; a reduced rate of $75 is available for student attendees.

Day 1:
- What is Monte Carlo radiation transport and MCNP?
- Geometry: surface and cell specifications
- Material and basic source definitions
- Running MCNP and tips and tricks
Days 2 and 3:
- MCNPX-PoliMi introduction
- MCNPX-PoliMi source capabilities, including new models of fission
- Spontaneous and neutron/gamma induced fission
- Alpha-n sources
- Combined sources such as MOX fuel
- Detector-response simulations with the MPPost code
- Organic scintillator (e.g., liquids and plastic)
- Capture detectors (e.g., He-3)
- Inorganic scintillators (e.g., NaI)
- Special detectors (capture-gated)
- Simulations of time-of-flight experiments
- Simulations of multiplicity experiments
