Project Description for Student Symposium 2022: Modeling Approach to Critical in the Upcoming CERBERUS Experiment
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The Critical Experiment Reflected By copper to BettEr Understand Scattering [CERBERUS] is an integral experiment that will be executed at the end of FY23. The experiment is designed to study the intermediate energy range, in particular elastic and inelastic scattering of neutrons in copper. Approaching criticality safely is of utmost importance, and having a computer mode is a useful tool when determining changes that can safely be made to the experiment. Multiple simulations are needed to analyze the approach to critical, and manually creating MCNP input files is both tedious and error prone. To solve this problem, a python script was created to develop and run these input files.
