@ -997,14 +997,9 @@ Carlo code, it must be done in such a way that preserves the thermally-averaged
reaction rate as per equation :eq:`doppler-broaden`.
The method by which most Monte Carlo codes sample the target velocity for use in
elastic scattering kinematics is outlined in detail by [Gelbard]_. This is the
default method for sampling target velocities in OpenMC. Alternate methods for
treating thermal target motion which reproduce the exact elastic scattering kernel
have been implemented in OpenMC and are described by [Walsh]_.
Here, the derivation of the default method largely follows that of Gelbard. Let
us first write the reaction rate as a function of the velocity of the target
nucleus:
