A collision-based hybrid algorithm for the discrete ordinates approximation of the neutron transport equation is extended to the isotropic multigroup setting. The algorithm uses discrete energy and angle grids at two different resolutions and approximates the fission and scattering sources on the coarser grids. The coupling of a collided transport equation, discretized on the coarse grid, with an uncollided transport equation, discretized on the fine grid, yields an algorithm that, in most cases, is more efficient than the traditional multigroup approach. The improvement over existing techniques is demonstrated for time-dependent problems with different materials, geometries, and energy groups.
