1 | The neutron transport class library described here |
---|
2 | simulates the interactions of neutrons with kinetic energies |
---|
3 | from thermal energies up to O(20~MeV). The upper limit is set by |
---|
4 | the comprehensive evaluated neutron scattering data libraries that the |
---|
5 | simulation is based on. |
---|
6 | The result is a set of secondary particles that can be passed on to the |
---|
7 | tracking sub-system for further |
---|
8 | geometric tracking within {\sc Geant4}. |

---|
10 | The interactions of neutrons at low energies are split |
---|
11 | into four parts in analogy to the other hadronic processes in {\sc Geant4}. |
---|
12 | We consider radiative capture, elastic scattering, fission, and |
---|
13 | inelastic scattering as separate models. These models |
---|
14 | comply with the interface for use with the {\sc Geant4} hadronic processes |
---|
15 | which enables their transparent use within the {\sc Geant4} tool-kit together with |
---|
16 | all other {\sc Geant4} compliant hadronic shower models. |
