| 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. |
