Description

Several experiments were performed at the Phasotron and Nuclotron accelerators in JINR Dubna in which spallation reactions and neutron transport were studied. The experimental results were checked against the predictions of the Monte-Carlo code MCNPX. The discrepancies at 1.5 GeV and 2 GeV on the 'Energy plus Transmutation' setup were observed. Therefore the experimental results were checked with another code-FLUKA
