Results
Energy spectrum of neutrons
The plot below shows the energy distribution of neutrons exiting the converter for three different ranges of neutron angle w.r.t. the incident beam.
The neutron energy spectrum of the neutron induced fission of U235 is shown for comparison.
misc
A major reason for the difference between the resulting neutron energy spectrum and that of U235, may be the moderation of the neutron by H2O. The plot below takes each neutron's energy at the moment of emission.
