Emulating Phenomenological R-Matrix Calculations

ORAL

Abstract

Accurately quantifying uncertainties for nuclear reactions frequently requires that an expensive computer code be run many times – more times than is reasonably achievable or even possible. For these cases, sophisticated emulation techniques are necessary. I will discuss different approaches for emulating phenomenological R-matrix calculations, how successful they are in different applications, and what limitations are currently being faced.
