The adjoint transport problem applied to estimate neutral particle leakage in the discrete ordinates formulations

In source–detector problems, neutron leakage is a quantity of interest that could lead to improve shielding structures, thus reducing the dose received by humans. In this work, we apply an adjoint technique with spectral nodal methods to compute neutron leakage in multigroup one– and two–dimensiona...
