Description

This presentation will concern the comparison of the estimated detector efficiency conversion in solid LiF and B cathodes as obtained with some of the major Monte Carlo codes, Fluka and Geant4, extensively used in high energy and health physics domains.

Differences in the transport of ions in the two codes will be highlighted, as well as, several different options in retrieving and storage data of the emitted ions will be discussed, in the frame to couple this information as input of more suitable codes to describe and account of the ionisation of gas detector.
