MCNP Variance Reduction Examples
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
MCNP has a fairly rich set of variance reduction techniques. These variance reduction techniques exist in MCNP because they are applicable to a wide variety of common Monte Carlo calculations. The MCNP manual describes what the variance reduction methods do in a detailed sense, but many of these details only really start making sense when the Monte Carlo practitioner has seen a few examples using variance reduction methods. This report gives a number of examples of using variance reduction methods in MCNP.
