On-the-fly doppler broadening of unresolved resonance region cross sections via probability band interpolation

In this work we present a scheme for computing temperature-dependent unresolved resonance region cross sections in Monte Carlo neutron transport simulations. This approach relies on the generation of equiprobable cross section magnitude bands on an energy-temperature mesh. The bands are then interpo...
