Neutron Production by Muon Spallation I: Theory

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/900172· OSTI ID:900172

We describe the physics and codes developed in the Muon Physics Package. This package is a self-contained Fortran90 module that is intended to be used with the Monte Carlo package MCNPX. We calculate simulated energy spectra, multiplicities, and angular distributions of direct neutrons and pions from muon spallation.
