Simulation of Neutron Multiplicity Counting Based on Monte Carlo Code RMC

Neutron multiplicity pertains to the probability distribution of the quantity of neutrons released during induced or spontaneous fission processes within fissile materials. The technology for neutron multiplicity measurement leverages temporal correlations in the emission of fission neutrons from nuclear materials. It employs mathematical tools to elucidate the processes of neutron generation, multiplication within the nuclear material, and detection of outside nuclear materials. In this paper, two multiplicity counting methods are devised building on the RMC (Reactor Monte Carlo) code.
