NeSST Documentation

NeSST (Neutron Scattered Spectra Tool) is a Python package for ICF neutron spectroscopy in the single scatter regime.

NeSST is a tool for producing singly scattered neutron spectra from ICF implosions. Various models for primary neutron spectra are provided, with the main focus on the scattered components. Total and differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic processes are used to form a singly scattered spectrum — the effect of areal density asymmetries can be incorporated into the resultant spectra. The effect of scattering ion velocities on the scattering kinematics are also included.
