A implementação foi feita no método multicanal de Schwinger com pseudopotencial, utilizando uma descrição do potencial de polarização através de uma combinação de funções gaussianas. Com esse potencial, visamos diminuir o custo computacional existente na inclusão do efeito de polarização em um cálculo ab-initio. Utilizamos três potenciais conhecidos na literatura, sendo o primeiro o potencial que relaciona um efeito de curto alcance (correlação), derivado de um modelo de gás de elétrons livres, com o longo alcance (polarização). O segundo potencial possui a forma mais simples, constante para raios perto da origem, e decai como um potencial de polarização. O terceiro potencial possui um fator exponencial que faz o seu valor ser próximo de zero na origem e decai como um potencial de polarização. Apresentamos um modelo de polarização descrito pelo deslocamento da densidade de carga com um parâmetro calculado de forma ab-initio. Utilizando o terceiro potencial modelo calculamos a seção de choque integral, de transferência de momento e diferencial para as moléculas de CH4, SiH4, GeH4, PbH4, SnH4, CF4 e SiF4. Os resultados obtidos foram comparados com os dados existentes na literatura e obtivemos uma boa concordância entre eles / Abstract: The aim of this work is the inclusion of polarization effects in the calculations of scattering cross section by using model potentials. The implementation was made in the Schwinger multichannel method with pseudopotentials, using a description of polarization potential with gaussians functions. With this potential we entend to reduce the computational cost present in the inclusion of polarization effects through ab-initio calculation. We use three potentials that can be found in the literature. The first potential relates the short range effect (correlation) derivated from a free electron gas model, with the long range effect (polarization). The second potential has the simplest form, for radius close to zero the potential tends to a constant, and for large r it decays like a polarization potential. The third potential has a exponential factor that is zero in the origin and it decays like a polarization potential for large r. We present a polarization model described by a displacement of a eletric charge density with a ab-initio calculated parameter. Using the third model potential we calculated the integral, momentum transfer and diferential cross section for CH4, SiH4, GeH4, PbH4, SnH4, CF4and Si F4molecules. Our results had been compared with experimental data and we have good agreement / Doutorado / Física Atômica e Molecular / Doutor em Ciências

Westinghouse Electric Sweden AB’s three-dimensional reactor core simulation program POLCA uses a large number of tables containing various fuel dependent data, such as cross sections, pin power maps with power distribution etc. POLCA uses quadratic and linear interpolation to extract the values needed for the simulation. However, finding the correct values to interpolate between takes time. This master thesis describes a method of compacting the tables by removing values, in order to shorten the needed simulation time. This is done so that no significant accuracy is lost in the interpolations. The method also finds deviant values and replaces these with new, interpolated values. The thesis shows that approximately 90 % of all values can be removed without losing significant accuracy. These results are however heavily dependent on the choice of accuracy loss criterion; a lower allowance for accuracy loss lowers the amount of values which can be removed sharply.
