- Predicting Antineutrino Flux with DRAGON
- Time: 4:00 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Christopher Jones, MIT
- Abstract: Simulation of a nuclear reactor is extremely important for Double Chooz, an antineutrino experiment whose goal is to extract theta_{13}, and for noninvasive nuclear nonproliferation. An overview of Double Chooz and reactor physics will be given, along with a summary of reactor simulation efforts and code validation. The seminar will conclude with a discussion about the role of simulations in nonproliferation scenarios
- Host: Stefan Westerhoff
