With the coupling LAHET + MCNP-DSP, we have the capability to simulate a pulsed source<br />

which correspond to the conceptual design of the ADS. The proton pulse frequency will be limited by<br />

the measurements set-up frequency given by the maximum frequency and the number of bins per<br />

block.<br />

4. LAHET + MCNP-DSP simulator of ADS<br />

Using LAHET + MCNP-DSP we can obtain the CPSD 12<br />

(w) function between two detectors. The<br />

detectors location will be given by the users and the CPSD 12<br />

(w) will be dependent on the detectors<br />

location. This dependence is related with the higher sub-critical modes and will be more important<br />

when the system becomes more sub-critical.<br />

Figure 2 was obtained using one proton source per data block as was done on Figure 1, to<br />

compare between both figures. The fundamental mode approximation done on Equation (14) is in<br />

good agreement with the calculated CPSD 12<br />

(w), where all the higher modes are included.<br />
