Abstract: In order to obtain more reaction information of neutron or the other secondary particles by forcing the collision to occur within a small time step, three Monte Carlo Time Forced Collision (TFC) sampling methods called discrete, large cross section and uniform time sampling method are presented, derived and tested. TFC method can be used in more complicated eases. For example, particle transporte through continuously changing materials within a cut time. Numerical results of simple multiplication system show that the calculation efficiency of TFC method is higher than that of the analog method by 2~4 magnitudes.

Key words: multiplication rate, Monte Carlo method, time forced collision, discrete sampling, large cross sections sampling, uniform time sampling
