TSL-PWXS


    Sets the correspondence between Fluka materials and the pointwise low
    energy neutron Thermal Scattering Law data sets

     
WHAT(1)
= isomer code of the target (Z x 10000 + A x 10 + m) Z, A, m, are the atomic, mass and isomer number of the isotope no default, a value < 0 resets the association to null If what(1) = 1.0, it is interpreted as to let FLUKA choose the corresponding pointwise cross ection data sets for all isotopes of the elements defined by what(4)-what(6)
WHAT(2)
= material index for the Thermal Scattering Law, there is no default. Currently supported (not all already implemented): For a specific isotope (Iaziso>10000): 1 = 1-H in H2O 2 = 1-H in para-hydrogen 3 = 1-H in ortho-hydrogen 7 = 1-H in ZrH 10 = 1-H in Ice 11 = 2-H in D2O 12 = 2-H in para-hydrogen 13 = 2-H in ortho-hydrogen 18 = 40-Ar in liquid Argon 26 = Al in metallic Aluminum 30 = C in Crystalline graphite 31 = C in Reactor graphite, 10% porosity 37 = 1-H in CH2 43 = Si in SiC 44 = C in SiC 50 = O in Ice 56 = 56-Fe in metallic Iron 58 = Zr in ZrH For a generic association (Iaziso=1): 1 = Generic for XX in H2O 2 = Generic for XX in para-hydrogen 3 = Generic for XX in ortho-hydrogen 7 = Generic for XX in ZrH 10 = Generic for XX in Ice 18 = Generic for XX in liquid Argon 26 = Generic for XX in metallic Al 30 = Generic for XX in crystalline graphite 31 = Generic for XX in reactor graphite 37 = Generic for XX in CH2 43 = Generic for XX in SiC 44 = Generic for XX in SiC 56 = Generic for XX in metallic Fe
WHAT(3)
= pointwise xsec temperature (def.=296, 0 is ignored, < 0 resets to default), actually 0 or < 0 behave the same
WHAT(4)
= from material "
WHAT(4)
" .... (def. 3)
WHAT(5)
= .... to material "
WHAT(5)
" .... (def.
WHAT(4)
)
WHAT(6)
= .... in step of "
WHAT(6)
" (def. 1) SDUM10 = extra string defining the release for the TSL cross section file (default=blank, the code will select which release to use if more then one are available). The file name looked for by Fluka in the directory $FLUKA/pwxs is composed as: <isomer code>-tsl-<bound mat>-<release>-<temp>.pwx where <bound mat> is defined in association with
WHAT(2)
Notes:
1) If pointwise Thermal Scattering Laws are requested for a compound the request is ignored. This card works only for elements, nevertheless it will silently ignore possible compounds included in the list defined by what(4)-what(6) 2) The list of available TSL, isotopes, and temperatures, as well as of the originating evaluated data file can be easily obtained looking in the $FLUPRO/pwxs directory for files with ...-tsl-... Examples: Associate the TSL for hydrogen in Ice at 228.15 K to all materials. It will apply to both 1-H in hydrogen and 16-O in Oxygen since this TSL exists for both, selecting the endfb8r0 release file:
*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+...
TSL-PWXS 1.0 10.0 228.15 HYDROGEN @LASTMAT endfb8r0 Associate the TSL for para-hydrogen at 20 K to the PARAHYD material. It will apply to both 1-H and 2-H since the this TSL exists for both, which release to use will be decided by FLUKA:
*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+...
