The registration fee is 750 EUR. This includes lunch and coffee breaks, but does not cover accommodation.

As soon as your registration is accepted, you will receive the necessary information to proceed with payment, either directly by credit card on the NEA website, or by bank transfer. Course fees MUST be paid within three weeks of course confirmation.

Registrations will be open until places run out. We draw your attention to the fact this course can only host 20 participants, so please do not delay in registering and paying the course fee.

Note aux participants français : l'OCDE/NEA n'est pas un centre de formation. Pour cette raison, les frais d'inscriptions sont dus avant le début de la prestation et il ne sera pas établi de convention de stage.

The course main objective is to provide a basis for fundamental concepts of numerical evaluation of analytical solutions to a variety of neutron transport equations. The course includes recent theoretical as well as numerical advances in analytical benchmarking. Course attendees will become familiar with:

• the derivation of the 1D transport equation and its various forms;
• several analytical solution representations;
• various numerical solutions with convergence acceleration for high order precision; and
• semi-analytical benchmarking strategies

To facilitate the course objectives, specially designed exercises will encourage participants to engage in the physics and numerical methods used in generating semi-analytical benchmarks. In addition, several lessons will use GUIs illustrating the programs in the suite of benchmarks that accompany the text. This will help the participants to become acquainted with the benchmark library as well as to solve several relevant problems of analytical transport theory.
