Optimizations of the energy grid search algorithm in continuous-energy Monte Carlo particle transport codes

In this work we propose, implement, and test various optimizations of the typical energy grid-cross section pair lookup algorithm in Monte Carlo particle transport codes. The key feature common to all of the optimizations is a reduction in the length of the vector of energies that must be searched w...
