Direct, on-the-fly calculation of unresolved resonance region cross sections in Monte Carlo simulations

The theory, implementation, and testing of a method for on-the-fly unresolved resonance region cross section calculations in continuous-energy Monte Carlo neutron transport codes are presented. With this method, each time that a cross section value is needed within the simulation, a realization of u...
