= Guardyan Basic Features

== Aims
Guardyan simulates the time evolution of fission chains. The neutrons are followed from the beginning to the end of a time interval. This tracking philosophy differs from the usual source convergence calculations where neutrons are followed from generation to generation, i.e. from fission event until the next fission event. The source term for Guardyan is a "snapshot" of the neutron population at a time instance consisting of delayed neutron precursors waiting to "hatch" and prompt neutrons crossing the time boundary. The time dependent changes in the neutron population may originate from time dependent changes of the cross sections either as change of a material or of the temperature of a certain material.
