openmc.ResonanceScattering

class openmc.ResonanceScattering[source]

Specification of the elastic scattering model for resonant isotopes

Variables:
  • nuclide (openmc.Nuclide) – The nuclide affected by this resonance scattering treatment.
  • nuclide_0K (openmc.Nuclide) – This should be the same isotope as the nuclide attribute above, but it should have an xs attribute that identifies 0 Kelvin data.
  • method (str) – The method used to sample outgoing scattering energies. Valid options are ‘ARES’, ‘CXS’ (constant cross section), ‘DBRC’ (Doppler broadening rejection correction), and ‘WCM’ (weight correction method).
  • E_min (float) – The minimum energy above which the specified method is applied. By default, CXS will be used below E_min.
  • E_max (float) – The maximum energy below which the specified method is applied. By default, the asymptotic target-at-rest model is applied above E_max.
