What is Validation of neutron emission and neutron energy spectrum calculations on MAST with DRESS about?

The recently developed Directional RElativistic Spectrum Simulator (DRESS) code has been validated for the first time against numerical calculations and experimental measurements performed on MAST. In this validation, the neutron emissivities and rates computed by DRESS are benchmarked against TRANSP/NUBEAM predictions while the neutron energy spectra provided by DRESS taking as input TRANSP/NUBEAM and ASCOT/BBNBI in Gyro-Orbit (GO) mode fast ion distributions are validated against proton pulse height spectra (PHS) measured by the neutron flux monitor. Excellent agreement was found between DRESS and TRANSP/NUBEAM predictions of local and total neutron emission.
