Modeling Neutron Transport for MagLIF experiments at the Z Facility using Attila and MCNP
POSTER
Abstract
For inertial confinement fusion experiments, the neutron yields is an important metric of the experiment. Accurately inferring neutron yields in experiments conducted at the Z facility is a difficult problem that requires understanding the neutron transport in a complex experimental assembly. In this, we demonstrate the utility of using Attila to develop a detailed geometrical model of MagLIF load hardware for neutron transport modeling in MCNP. SNL is managed and operated by NTESS under DOE NNSA contract DE-NA0003525.
