openmc.stats.Muir¶

class openmc.stats.Muir(e0=14080000.0, m_rat=5.0, kt=20000.0)[source]¶

Muir energy spectrum.

The Muir energy spectrum is a Gaussian spectrum, but for convenience reasons allows the user 3 parameters to define the distribution, e0 the mean energy of particles, the mass of reactants m_rat, and the ion temperature kt.

Parameters

e0 (float) – Mean of the Muir distribution in units of eV
m_rat (float) – Ratio of the sum of the masses of the reaction inputs to an AMU
kt (float) – Ion temperature for the Muir distribution in units of eV

Variables

e0 (float) – Mean of the Muir distribution in units of eV
m_rat (float) – Ratio of the sum of the masses of the reaction inputs to an AMU
kt (float) – Ion temperature for the Muir distribution in units of eV

classmethod from_xml_element(elem)[source]¶
