6. Calculating sensitivities and uncertainties
Uncertainties resulting from the imprecision of the measurements used to determine effective cross-sections and other quantities add a margin of uncertainty to the results of protection calculations.
Let {x
k
} be a set of basic quantities that we will call the parameters (k = 1, ... N ). A protection calculation gives the results R
j
at different points in an accessible zone. The results R
j
depend on the parameters x
k
, which can be very numerous:
