Agenda

Dustin : MCNPX versus G4 for Cu and W elog-2912, elog-2918
Updates from Rakitha :

• Simulation update with smaller bore radius
  • Prototype collimator elog-2917
  • Collimator alignment check elog-2916
  • Length and radial scans with test collimator elog-2915 elog-2914 elog-2913

• Present:

Nickie, Seamus, Bob, Dustin, Kent, Paul, Lorenzo

Minutes

• Further simulation using MCNPX to verify Geant4 neutron production from tungsten and Copper. So far we did not compare similar outputs between MCPNX and Geant4. Also some concerns about the EM showering effects on two simulations and possibility of just using a photon beam was also discussed.
• Benchmark for PREX-II integrated radiation from using a LH2 target? So far our goal was to reduce the integrated radiation by 10 times w.r.t PREX-I

Misc.

• From Last Meeting
  • Beam parasitic studies
