How to Simulate Parallel Beams in MCNP5 or MCNPX?

MCNP5 or MCNPX. In summary, to simulate a parallel neutron beam, you can use the "sdef" parameters in MCNP5 or MCNPX. For more detailed information, you can refer to the thesis titled "DESIGN OF A NEUTRON SPECTROMETER AND SIMULATIONS OF NEUTRON MULTIPLICITY EXPERIMENTS WITH NUCLEAR DATA PERTURBATIONS".

TL;DR Summary
tl;dr : how to simulate a parallel neutron beam
Hi,

I am interested in simulation of parallel beams for neutrons and photons (separately of course). Any ideas on how to simulate them in MCNP5 or MCNPX?

Hi,
you can with the parameters of "sdef" (with "dir", "axs", "vec" and "rad")
