Geant4 Users Conference : Low background Parallel Session 1 (b) - Low Background Experiments

Speaker

Matthew ROBINSON (University of Sheffield, UK)

Summary

Simulations of neutron background from rock for underground experiments are presented. Neutron propagation through two types of rock, lead and hydrocarbon material, is discussed. The results show a reasonably good agreement between GEANT4, MCNPX and GEANT3 in transporting low-energy neutrons.
