title = "Comparison of ADVANTG simulations to simple shielding measurements",
abstract = "The ADVANTG tool uses a quick adjoint deterministic calculation to develop variance reduction parameters (a weight windows map and consistent biased source sampling distribution) to increase the efficiency of an MCNP Monte Carlo radiation transport code. Four well-documented experiments have been simulated with standard analog MCNP and ADVANTG-enhanced MCNP. Results using ADVANTG match the standard MCNP results well-showing that the use of the variance reduction parameters has not changed the answers. Modest gains in speed were observed for neutron problems, and significant gains were observed for photon problems. Note that these experiments are all simple-for deep penetration problems, the FOM improvements from ADVANTG are much more dramatic [2].",
