Description

Organic liquid scintillator (BC501A) based neutron time-of-fight (TOF) detector arrays are widely used for neutron spectroscopic studies in mixed field of neutron (η) and γ-rays due to their superior time resolution and η-γ discrimination properties. Generalised packages like, GEANT4, FLUKA, MCNP are used for the estimation of over-all performance of more complex geometry of detector arrays. Among them GEANT4 is extensively used by the nuclear and high energy physics community because of its versatile capability of large scale comprehensive simulation over a very wide energy range
