Using Fractional Cascading to Accelerate Cross Section Lookups in Monte Carlo Neutron Transport Calculations

We describe and test a technique for carrying out energy grid searches in continuous-energy Monte Carlo (MC) neutron transport calculations that represents an optimal compromise between grid search performance and memory footprint. The method, based on the fractional cascading technique and referre...
