``<resonance_scattering>`` Element
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The ``resonance_scattering`` element can contain one or more of the following
|
||||
attributes or sub-elements:
|
||||
|
||||
:scatterer:
|
||||
An element with attributes/sub-elements called ``nuclide``, ``method``,
|
||||
``xs_label``, ``xs_label_0K``, ``E_min``, and ``E_max``. The ``nuclide``
|
||||
attribute is the name, as given by the ``name`` attribute within the
|
||||
``nuclide`` sub-element of the ``material`` element in ``materials.xml``,
|
||||
of the nuclide to which a resonance scattering treatment is to be applied.
|
||||
The ``method`` attribute gives the type of resonance scattering treatment
|
||||
that is to be applied to the ``nuclide``. Acceptable inputs for the
|
||||
``method`` attribute are ``ARTS``, ``CXS``, ``WCM``, and ``DBRC``.
|
||||
Descriptions of each of these methods are documented here_. The
|
||||
``xs_label`` attribute gives the label for the cross section data of the
|
||||
``nuclide`` at a given temperature. The ``xs_label_0K`` gives the label
|
||||
for the 0 K cross section data for the ``nuclide``. The ``E_min`` attribute
|
||||
gives the minimum energy above which the ``method`` is applied. The
|
||||
``E_max`` attribute gives the maximum energy below which the ``method`` is
|
||||
applied. One example would be as follows:

|

<E_max>210.0e-6</E_max>
|
||||
</scatterer>
|
||||
</resonance_scattering>
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: The free gas, constant cross section (``cxs``) scattering model,
|
||||
which has historically been used by Monte Carlo codes to sample
|
||||
target velocities, is the default ``method``. Below ``E_min``,
|
||||
the ``cxs`` default method is applied and above ``E_max``, the
|
||||
target-at-rest (asymptotic) kernel is used. An arbitrary number of
|
||||
``scatterer`` elements may be specified, each corresponding to a
|
||||
single nuclide at a single material temperature.
