Title: Fission Reaction Event Yield Algorithm FREYA 2.0.2

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the main differences between FREYA versions 1.0 and 2.0.2. FREYA (Fission Reaction Event Yield Algorithm) is a fission event generator which models complete fission events. As such, it automatically includes fluctuations as well as correlations between observables, resulting from conservation of energy and momentum. The main differences between the two versions are: additional fissionable isotopes, angular momentum conservation, Giant Dipole Resonance form factor for the statistical emission of photons, improved treatment of fission photon emission using RIPL database, and dependence on the incident neutron direction. FREYA 2.0.2 has been integrated into the LLNL Fission Library 2.0.2, which has itself been integrated into MCNP6.2, TRIPOLI-4.10, and can be called from Geant4.10.

Using the MCNP6.2 Correlated Fission Multiplicity Models, CGMF and FREYA

Journal Article Rising, Michael E. ; Sood, Avneet - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

The culmination of a multi-year, collaborative effort by researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the University of Michigan, led to the delivery of two new correlated fission multiplicity models available within the latest release of MCNP{sup R} version 6.2. The needs within the nuclear nonproliferation community, particularly in simulating and predicting the neutron and gamma-ray signatures of special nuclear materials (SNM), provided the motivation for this major collaborative effort. From LANL, the CGMF code has been implemented as an upgrade to the original Cascading Gamma-ray Multiplicity (CGM) code.more »« less
Correlated Production and Analog Transport of Fission Neutrons and Photons Using Fission Models FREYA, FIFRELIN, and the Monte Carlo Code TRIPOLI-4

Journal Article Verbeke, Jerome M. ; Petit, Odile ; Litaize, Olivier ; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Fission modeling in general-purpose Monte Carlo transport codes often relies on average nuclear data provided by the international evaluation libraries. As such, only average fission multiplicities are available and correlations between fission neutrons and photons are missing. Whereas uncorrelated fission physics is usually sufficient for standard reactor core and radiation shielding calculations, correlated fission secondaries are required for specialized nuclear instrumentation and detector modeling. For coincidence counting detector optimization for instance, the precise simulation of fission neutrons and photons that remain correlated in time from birth to detection is essential. New developments were recently integrated into the Monte Carlo transportmore »« less

Stochastic analog neutron transport with TRIPOLI-4 and FREYA: Bayesian uncertainty quantification for neutron multiplicity counting

Journal Article Verbeke, J. M. ; Petit, O. - Nuclear Science and Engineering

From nuclear safeguards to homeland security applications, the need for the better modeling of nuclear interactions has grown over the past decades. Current Monte Carlo radiation transport codes compute average quantities with great accuracy and performance; however, performance and averaging come at the price of limited interaction-by-interaction modeling. These codes often lack the capability of modeling interactions exactly: for a given collision, energy is not conserved, energies of emitted particles are uncorrelated, and multiplicities of prompt fission neutrons and photons are uncorrelated. Many modern applications require more exclusive quantities than averages, such as the fluctuations in certain observables (e.g., themore »« less

Event-by-Event Fission with FREYA

Conference Randrup, J ; Vogt, R

The recently developed code FREYA (Fission Reaction Event Yield Algorithm) generates large samples of complete fission events, consisting of two receding product nuclei as well as a number of neutrons and photons, all with complete kinematic information. Thus it is possible to calculate arbitrary correlation observables whose behavior may provide unique insight into the fission process. The presentation first discusses the present status of FREYA, which has now been extended up to energies where pre-equilibrium emission becomes significant and one or more neutrons may be emitted prior to fission. Concentrating on {sup 239}Pu(n,f), we discuss the neutron multiplicity correlations, themore »« less

A comparison of Monte Carlo fission models for safeguards neutron coincidence counters

Journal Article Weinmann-Smith, Robert K. ; Swinhoe, Martyn Thomas ; Trahan, Alexis Chanel ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool used to model neutron coincidence detectors for international safeguards. The simulation has typically sampled properties such as the fission neutron multiplicity, energy, and direction, from independent probability density functions. However, multiplicity counters detect event-based neutron correlations and thus more accurate fission event modeling is needed. To respond to this need, the Fission Reaction Event Yield Algorithm (FREYA) and the Cascading Gamma-ray Multiplicity with Fission (CGMF) models were added in the newest version of MCNP, MCNP6.2. The models simulate individual fission events conserving momentum, energy, and angular momentum such that correlated particles are emitted.more »« less
