Accelerated sampling of the free gas resonance elastic scattering kernel

In this work, we present the derivation and investigation of a new Doppler broadening rejection sampling approach for the exact treatment of resonance elastic scattering in Monte Carlo neutron transport codes. Implemented in OpenMC, this method correctly accounts for the energy dependence of cross s...
