Uncertainty Calculation on the Response: σrespND

The sandwich formula allows the propagation of response sensitivities to nuclear data through the covariances matrix, to evaluate the global uncertainty on response due to nuclear data σrespND(in relative value).

Sandwich Formula:

\[ \sigma_{\text{resp}}^{\text{ND}} = \sqrt{S \cdot Cov \cdot S^t} \]

\(S\): sensitivity vector          \(Cov\): covariance matrix
