=== set ngamma === '''set ngamma''' ''MODE'' [ ''WMIN'' ''NMAX'' ] Sets the coupled neutron-photon transport simulation on. Input values: {| | <tt>''MODE''</tt> | : simulation mode (0 = off, 1 = analog, 2 = implicit). The default option is "<tt>off</tt>" |- | <tt>''WMIN''</tt> | : weight limit for implicit mode (default value: 0.1) |- | <tt>''NMAX''</tt> | : maximum number of emitted photons in implicit mode (default value: 10) |} <u>Notes:</u> *This input card invokes the production of prompt gammas in neutron reactions. **The coupled simulation mode requires that both neutron and photon data libraries are defined. *Simulation mode: **Analog mode: the average number of secondary photons produced per collision is defined by the ratio of photon production cross section to material total. ***Each emitted photon assumes the weight of the incident neutron. **Implicit mode: can be used to produce more photons by allowing variation in their statistical weight. ***The weight limit defines the minimum allowed weight of emitted photons. ***This method is close to what is used in MCNP. **Both calculation modes produce photons in all collisions without any correlation to the sampled reaction mode. **The <tt>''MODE''</tt> option was incorrectly described until Dec. 12, 2017. *The methodology behind the coupled neutron/gamma transport mode is described in a related paper<ref name="ngamma">Leppänen, J., Kaltiaisenaho, T., Valtavirta, V. and Metsälä, M.
