Job description
Aim: reassess the MUSE4 MASURCA transient experiments using spectral analysis and multi‑point kinetics (MPK) to understand limitations of simplified kinetics (point kinetics) and the role of higher modes.
- Tasks: compute MPK coefficients with APOLLO3; use TRIPOLI4 to solve fundamental k‑mode and alpha‑mode; analyze higher modes and links to physical degrees of freedom; compare interpretations.
- Tools: APOLLO3, TRIPOLI4.
- Profile: Master 2 with strong basics in analysis methods and neutronics.
