Simulating neutron propagations with FLUKA, GEANT4 and MCNP

We perform simulations on neutron transport properties for neutrons with energies less than 500 MeV. The simulation packages FLUKA, GEANT4 and MCNP are used. The neutron energy distributions and attenuation lengths, which are resulted from a mono-energetic initial neutron beam traversing a given thi...

Summary:We perform simulations on neutron transport properties for neutrons with energies less than 500 MeV. The simulation packages FLUKA, GEANT4 and MCNP are used. The neutron energy distributions and attenuation lengths, which are resulted from a mono-energetic initial neutron beam traversing a given thickness of medium, are presented.
