|

This example demonstrates an application of the fission fragment model in the
|
||||
NeutronHP model. This example is capable of using both models, but is designed
|
||||
around the Wendt Fission Model. A warning will be shown if the environment
|
||||
variable that enables the Wendt fission model is not set.

## EXECUTION
|
||||
|
||||
### ENVIRONMENT
|
||||
- `G4NEUTRONHP_PRODUCE_FISSION_FRAGMENTS`
|
||||
- Required
|
||||
- The example requires this enviroment variable to be set. An error will be
|
||||
displayed and the example will terminate if this environment variable is
|
||||
not set.
|
||||
|
||||
- `G4NEUTRON_HP_USE_WENDT_FISSION_MODEL`
|
||||
- Optional
|
||||
- This environment variable enables the Wendt fission model contained within
|
||||
the NeutronHP model for simulating fission events. The default model will
|
||||
be used otherwise. A warning will be displayed if this environment
|
||||
variable is not set.
|
||||
|
||||
### COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
|
||||
The example can be run without any input arguments. However, a few options
|
||||
are available:
|
||||
```
|
||||
-i ARG : run in batch mode from script file ARG
|
||||
-o ARG : write output to file ARG
|
||||
(defaults to FF_Neutron_HP.out)
|
||||
-n ARG : multithreading with ARG number of threads
|
||||
(only works if Geant4 was compiled with multithreading enabled)
|
||||
```
|
||||
No output is currently generated, although the argument is provided. It is
|
||||
anticipated that future versions will provide some form of output
|
||||
summarizing the results of the simulation.
|
||||
|
||||
### INTERACTIVE
|
||||
No specialized UI commands are currently provided.
|
||||
|
||||
To run the simulation, use the standard UI command:
|
||||
```
|
||||
/run/beamOn
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### BATCH
|
||||
Use the macro batch.in :
|
||||
```
|
||||
./FissionFragment batch.in
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## GEOMETRY
|
||||
|
||||
The geometry is constructed in the FFDetectorConstruction class. The setup is
|
||||
based on a subcritical assembly design.
|
||||
|
||||
### MATERIALS
|
||||
This example requires a number of materials. They are loaded or constructed
|
||||
in the "DefineMaterials" function. A few of the materials are obtained from
|
||||
the NIST database. These materials are:
|
||||
- Air
|
||||
- Aluminum
|
||||
- Graphite
|
||||
- Polyethylene
|
||||
- Stainless steel
|
||||
- Water
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, visit: <A HREF="http://bit.ly/1rEHjhW"> Geant4 User's
|
||||
Guide for Application Developers, Appendix: Geant4 Materials Database </A>
|
||||
|
||||
Not all of the necessary materials were available from the NIST database,
|
||||
and were constructed manually from the estimated isotopics. These materials
|
||||
are:
|
||||
- 20% U235 enriched uranium
|
||||
- 93% B10 enriched BF3
|
||||
|
||||
### VOLUMES
|
||||
The world is composed of air instead of a vacuum to provide room return.
|
||||
|
||||
The subcritical assembly is a water-filled aluminum tank.
|
||||
|
||||
The fuel plates are composed of aluminum-clad uranium meat, and are
|
||||
completely submersed in the water of the subcritical assembly.
|
||||
|
||||
An AmBe neutron source is placed in the exact center of the fuel plate
|
||||
loading configuration. The material is currently modeled as steel until
|
||||
more exact specifics of the AmBe isotopics can be obtained.
|
||||
|
||||
The subcritical assembly rests on top of a graphite pile for moderation and
|
||||
shielding.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## PHYSICS LIST
|
||||
|
||||
The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available
|
||||
in this example are set in the QGSP_BIC_HP physics list.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## PRIMARY GENERATOR
|
||||
|
||||
The primary generator is defined in the FFPrimaryGeneratorAction class.
|
||||
The default particle is a 4.5 MeV neutron originating from the
|
||||
"NeutronSource" volume. The particles initial direction is isotropically
|
||||
sampled.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## DETECTOR RESPONSE
|
||||
|
||||
The scoring method is yet to be implemented, although the BF3 detector is
|
||||
already included in the detector construction.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## VISUALISATION
|
||||
An example "vis.mac" will be included in a future release. For now, please
|
||||
refer to other examples for a few suggestions.
