| 1 | The high precision neutron models discussed in the previous section |
|---|
| 2 | depend on an evaluated neutron data library (G4NDL) for cross sections, |
|---|
| 3 | angular distributions and final state information. However the library |
|---|
| 4 | is not complete because there are no data for several key elements. |
|---|
| 5 | In order to use the high precision models, users must develop their |
|---|
| 6 | detectors using only elements which exist in the library. In order to |
|---|
| 7 | avoid this difficulty, alternative models were developed which use |
|---|
| 8 | the high precision models when data are found in the library, but |
|---|
| 9 | use the low energy parameterized neutron models when data are missing. |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | The alternative models cover the same types of interaction as the |
|---|
| 12 | originals, that is elastic and inelastic scattering, capture and fission. |
|---|
| 13 | Because the low energy parameterized part of the models is independent |
|---|
| 14 | of G4NDL, results will not be as precise as they would be if the |
|---|
| 15 | relevant data existed. |
