Neutrons were incident uniformly over the surface of one of the neutron detectors normally to the surface w/o hitting the shielding and the analysing detector such that we have pure x-talk effect due to neutron scattering in the material (BC-420) of the neutron detector. The analysing detector detected all the particles scattered/produced in the shielding/BC-420.

Revision as of 15:06, 19 August 2014

The simulation of the cross talk between two neutron detectors was performed using GEANT4 program. The simulated detector layout is shown below:

Detector shielding setup.png

The following stages of simulation of the x-talk were considered:

1) the x-talk effect is due to the acceptance of the analysing detector, i.e. there was no shielding in between the two detectors;

2) only 2" of borated poly was placed in between;

3) borated poly was placed in between two layers of 1" lead layers.

The number of incident particle (neutrons) was [math]10^5[/math] and their energy spectrum is shown below:
