The MCNP Monte Carlo Program

af Rosenschöld, Per Munck LU orcid and Larsson, Erik LU orcid (2012) p.153-172
Abstract

Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) is a Monte Carlo code package allowing coupled neutron, photon, and electron transport calculations. Also, the possibility of performing heavy charged particle transport calculations was recently introduced with the twin MCNPX code package. An arbitrary three-dimensional problem can be formulated through the use of surfaces defining building blocks (“cells” that are assigned density, material, and relevant cross-section tables. The source can be specified as point, surface, or volumes using generic or as a phase/space file.
