MCNP-A General Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code

TLDR

The manual does not provide exhaustive details on Monte Carlo techniques, directing readers to external sources for in‑depth information. This manual serves as a practical guide for using the general‑purpose Monte Carlo code MCNP. The manual is organized into chapters that introduce novice users, explain the mathematics, data, physics, and simulation aspects of MCNP, guide input preparation, provide examples and output explanations, and include appendices on system usage and code internals.

Abstract

This manual is a practical guide for the use of our general-purpose Monte Carlo code MCNP. The first chapter is a primer for the novice user. The second chapter describes the mathematics, data, physics, and Monte Carlo simulation found in MCNP. This discussion is not meant to be exhaustive---details of the particular techniques and of the Monte Carlo method itself will have to be found elsewhere. The third chapter shows the user how to prepare input for the code. The fourth chapter contains several examples, and the fifth chapter explains the output. The appendices show how to use MCNP on various computer systems and also give details about some of the code internals.
