Sublet 3 1 PSI, 2 CEA DAM DIF, France, 3 IAEA WIR SCHAFFEN WISSEN HEUTE FÜR MORGEN Monte Carlo Nuclear Data Assimilation via integral information
2 Summary Motivations Methods Bayesian Monte Carlo (BMC) Generalized Non-linear Least Square (GNLS) Back to a unique evaluated file Examples A single benchmark (e.g. imf7, hmf1, pmf1 ) Many benchmarks together Correlations U-Pu-O Prague: where it all started in 1410 All slides can be found here: /STARS/RD41 - ( 2 / 18)
3 Motivations 1. Not all relevant correlations are included in the current evaluations, e.g.: 2. Calculated uncertainties for benchmarks based on current evaluations are larger than ICSBEP evaluated uncertainties: /STARS/RD41 - ( 3 / 18)
4 Uncertainty reduction Solution: include selected integral information in the evaluation process 3 methods: BMC: Bayesian Monte Carlo = TMC + weights on random files, GLLS: Generalized Linear Least Square (not detailed here), GNLS: Generalized Nonlinear Least Square = MOCABA + feedback to nuclear data (Monte Carlo version of the GLLS) Method GLLS GNLS BMC Assumption Linear+Normal Normal None Drawback/Advantages Fast, ignore nonlinearity Not so fast, ignore linearity Even slower, ignore linearity and non Normal inputs /STARS/RD41 - ( 4 / 18)
5 Uncertainty reduction with BMC Step 1 - Preliminary work: in-depth cross section evaluation (traditional method of parameters/models adjustment) Step 2 - BMC: Based on step 1, Generate n= (or 1000) random files (TMC-way) Calculate n times the benchmarks Assign weights to all realizations i with a chi2 and update the parameter distributions Update the cross sections with the weights. Some BMC/BFMC references: EPJ/A 51 (2015) 184, Nucl. Data Sheets 123 (2015) 201, EPJ/N 3, 14 (2017) /STARS/RD41 - ( 5 / 18)
6 Uncertainty reduction with GNLS Step 1 - Preliminary work: in-depth cross section evaluation (traditional method of parameters/models adjustment) Step 2 - GNLS: Based on step 1, Generate n= (or 1000) random files (TMC-way) Calculate n times the benchmarks, Then: K: calculated integral quantity (e.g. k eff ) from M c,e : covariance in calculated (measured) k eff M σ : cross section covariance Original references: ANE 77(2015) 514, JNST 51 (2014) /STARS/RD41 - ( 6 / 18)
7 Step 1 - Preliminary work: in-depth cross section evaluation (traditional method of parameters/models adjustment) Step 2 - BMC or GNLS Uncertainty reduction (final step) Step 3 - Back to a unique file: From the n random files and their posterior (weights in BMC, σ in GNLS), update the nominal evaluated file, And update the covariance file, Finally, benchmark the posterior nominal evaluated file for checking /STARS/RD41 - ( 7 / 18)
8 Example with imf7 (bigten) - BMC Based on random files for 235,238 U /STARS/RD41 - ( 8 / 18)
9 Updated cross sections Example with imf7 (bigten) - BMC /STARS/RD41 - ( 9 / 18)
10 Example with imf7 (bigten) - BMC Updated cross section uncertainties /STARS/RD41 - ( 10 / 18)
11 Updated correlations Example with imf7 (bigten) - BMC Prior Posterior /STARS/RD41 - ( 11 / 18)
12 Back to a single file Example with imf7 (bigten) BMC and GNLS 1 file files /STARS/RD41 - ( 12 / 18)
13 A few benchmarks Example with different benchmarks /STARS/RD41 - ( 13 / 18)
14 Example with different benchmarks Many benchmarks, all together: 17 quantities (12 k eff, 5 spectral indexes) Prior correlation matrix Posterior correlation matrix /STARS/RD41 - ( 14 / 18)
15 Example with different benchmarks Many benchmarks, all together: 17 quantities (12 k eff, 5 spectral indexes) /STARS/RD41 - ( 15 / 18)
16 Example with different benchmarks Many benchmarks, all together: 17 quantities (12 k eff, 5 spectral indexes) /STARS/RD41 - ( 16 / 18)
17 Conclusion By considering integral benchmarks, correlations between isotopes appear, By considering integral benchmarks, cross section uncertainties decrease, Better agreement between experimental and calculated uncertainties, Also allows to include EXFOR data for natural and oxide samples, Two Monte Carlo methods are used, showing global improvements, Such approach makes clear and mathematical sound the adjustment procedure, Still, to be improved: Better physics (for TALYS), Consider benchmark experimental covariances, More isotopes should be considered (such as 241 Pu, 16 O) /STARS/RD41 - ( 17 / 18)
18 Conclusion Final example of correlation between U-Pu-O with the mcf1 benchmark Prior Posterior /STARS/RD41 - ( 18 / 18)
