Derivation and quantitative analysis of the differential self-interrogation Feynman-alpha method
Paper in proceeding, 2011
A stochastic theory for a branching process in a neutron
population with two energy levels is used to assess the
applicability of the differential self-interrogation Feynman-alpha method by numerically estimated reaction intensities from Monte Carlo simulations. More specifically, the variance to mean or Feynman-alpha formula is applied to investigate the appearing exponentials using the numerically obtained reaction intensities.
