Intermediate Sources, Tallies, and Variance Reduction
This is an MCNP6® workshop.
This workshop will focus on advanced sources, complex tallies, and how to use variance reduction on your problems to help your tallies converge.
The workshop will be taught by Randy Schwarz who has been doing MCNP ® calculations for over 30 years and doing workshops for 20 years.
Participants can create geometries using the software of their choice (by hand, using Nucwiz (http://mcnpvised.com/nucwiz/nucwiz.html, or the Visual Editor (http://mcnpvised.com/visualeditor/visualeditor.html).
The focus will be on running calculations and getting converged answers. Because of the small workshop size, Randy will focus the workshop to your specific needs and will apply the concepts to your problems.
Randy has extensive knowledge in variance reduction an example of some of his work can be found here:

Participants are encouraged to bring their own input files to apply the methods from this workshop on their specific tasks.
