自发Fission的FREYA参数优化及不确定性分析

Parameter Optimization and Uncertainty Analysis of FREYA for Spontaneous Fission

Jackson Van Dyke, Lee Bernstein, Ramona Vogt

摘要:

背景:全事件裂变模拟程序FREYA用于研究裂变中的相关性。为了做出最好的模拟,FREYA必须找到五个基于物理的参数的优化值,这些参数表征了FREYA产生的事件。到目前为止,这仅仅是凭经验或通过蛮力计算技术完成的。目的:我们寻求开发一种方法,FREYA的参数优化,将包括不确定性量化和参数之间的相关性分析。方法:我们专注于自发裂变作为一个简单的测试情况下的方法。我们首先检查$^{252}$ Cf(sf)的先前优化的结果,然后继续开发模拟退火方法来优化参数。虽然$^{252}$ Cf(sf)具有最多的可测量的观测值,但我们能够将该技术应用于当前版本的FREYA中的所有自发裂变同位素。结果:我们发现的五个FREYA参数的最佳值,与不确定性,所有的同位素研究。我们的结果与现有数据进行了比较。参数值在物理上是合理的,并且与直觉一致,即使在用于优化的数据稀疏到不存在的情况下。结论:模拟退火方法提供了一种方法来确定最佳参数的唯象成功的裂变模型FREYA。我们已经开发了一种算法,可以更新,以包括其他同位素或更多的数据集,为当前的同位素,因为他们变得可用。

英文摘要:

Background: The complete event fission simulation code FREYA is used to study correlations in fission. To make the best possible simulations, FREYA one must find the optimized values of the five physics-based parameters which characterize the events produced by FREYA. So far this has been done only empirically or by brute force computational techniques. Purpose: We seek to develop a method of parameter optimization for FREYA that would include uncertainty quantification and an analysis of the correlations between the parameters. Methods: We focus on spontaneous fission as a simpler test case of the method. We first check the results of previous optimizations for $^{252}$Cf(sf) and then go on to develop a simulated annealing approach to optimize the parameters. Although $^{252}$Cf(sf) has the most measured observables, we are able to apply the technique to all spontaneously fissioning isotopes in the current version of FREYA. Results: We find optimal values of the five FREYA parameters, with uncertainties, for all isotopes studied. Our results are compared with available data. The parameter values are physically reasonable and in accord with intuition, even in cases where the data for optimization are sparse to non-existent. Conclusions: The simulated annealing method provides a way to determine the best parameters for the phenomenologically-successful fission model FREYA. We have developed an algorithm that can be updated to include additional isotopes or more data sets for the current isotopes as they become available.
