MCNP and SCALE input decks for the reexamination of the thermal Ca40(n,a)Ar37 cross section conducted by Forster. The dataset includes 3 SCALE files: 2 COUPLE files for generating cross section data and 1 ORIGEN file for modeling calcium activation. The dataset was authored by Shah, Khiloni and last updated on March 18, -2024.
Use Cases
- Modeling thermal neutron cross sections based on the described 1/v and threshold cross section data.
- Simulating calcium activation in rock based on the included ORIGEN file.
- Benchmarking or validating nuclear simulation codes using the provided input decks.
- Conducting sensitivity analyses for cross section data generation using the COUPLE files.
Strengths
- Includes 3 specific SCALE input files (2 COUPLE, 1 ORIGEN) for distinct modeling tasks.
- Dataset is associated with a named reexamination study conducted by Forster.
- Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2024-03 18 06:37:15.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
