k100 sim with Pu-Be neutron source

  • Extremely small event yield with 50k simulated sample: link to last week's meeting
  • Generated 1M sample
  • Unidirectional source placed 1 meters away from the detector:
  • Source neutron energy spectrum (smooth peaks):
  • Total event yield is ~ 6k with 137 neutron capture events.
  • Neutrons registered in the detector volume:
  • Energy spectrum of leading (highest energy) photon generated in all interactions:
  • Energy spectrum of leading (highest energy) photon generated on neutron capture:
  • Next step::
    • Higher stat with realistic incident angles and placement of neutron source.
    • Integrate and implement NaI scintillator tiles in the simulation: Dimensions and geometry file?
