Can I input the X-Ray tube voltage in MCNP source specification?
One would put in energy or energy spectrum for a photon source. I am not aware that voltage for an X-ray tube is an input.Anisur Rahman said:TL;DR Summary: Source Specification

Even if the current value (mA) differs?Alex A said:An electron falling through a potential difference of 1V gains 1eV of kinetic energy.
So an X-ray tube powered at 100kV would be simulated with a beam of electrons of energy 0.1 MeV (SDEF ERG= are in MeV) directed at a target.
The current determines the number of particles (mA/e) per sec, were e is the unit charge.mariem said:Even if the current value (mA) differs?
Yes, you can input the X-Ray tube voltage in the MCNP source specification. You can specify the energy of the photons emitted by the X-Ray tube by setting the energy distribution in the source specification.
To specify the X-Ray tube voltage in MCNP, you need to define the energy distribution of the photons emitted by the X-Ray tube in the source specification. You can specify the energy distribution using the appropriate keywords and parameters in the source card.
Some of the keywords that you can use to input the X-Ray tube voltage in MCNP include EG, ES, and DF. These keywords allow you to specify the energy distribution of the photons emitted by the X-Ray tube and set the X-Ray tube voltage accordingly.
Yes, you can simulate X-Ray tube interactions in MCNP by specifying the X-Ray tube voltage in the source specification and setting up the appropriate geometry and materials for the simulation. By accurately defining the energy distribution of the X-Ray photons, you can model the interactions of X-Rays with the materials in your simulation.
You can validate the X-Ray tube voltage simulation in MCNP by comparing the results of your simulation with experimental data or benchmark calculations. Ensure that the energy distribution of the X-Ray photons in your simulation matches the expected values based on the X-Ray tube voltage you have specified. Conducting sensitivity analyses and verifying the accuracy of your model can also help validate the simulation results.
