Volume_Source

Structure used to define an isotropic volume source and its properties.

Mandatory field(s)

• name::String : name (or identifier) of the Volume_Source structure.
• particle::Particle : type of particle emitted.
• energy_group::Int64 : energy group index in which the particle are emitted.
• boundaries::Vector{Float64} : boundaries of the source along each axis [in cm].

Optional field(s) - with default values

• intensity::Float64=1.0 : intensity [# particles/cmᴺ, where N is the geometry dimension].

set_particle(this::Volume_Source,particle::String)

To define the source particle.

Input Argument(s)

• this::Volume_Source : volume source.
