Abstract
The aim of this work is the performances improvement of the Monte-Carlo codes for the criticality studies. MORET IV is especially concerned. With multigroup approximations, the anisotropy equations are very irregular and show quick variations. In a Monte-Carlo codes, they are estimated only by the first coefficients of Legendre polynomials development. Many methods have been characterised using variable number of these coefficients, allowing their reconstruction. So reference representations were defined. Thus they showed that the approximation by only one Dirac could lead to a reactivity under-evaluations. Referring to these representations, new methods have been introduced in MORET IV and instructions have been proposed. Two methods (the correlated samples method and the derivatives sampling method) have been studied to define the divergence between two closely configurations result. A few variance formula of the collision density variation for an infinite medium to an energy group, have been established. These formula have been perfected by simulation for a finite medium.
