TART calculations of neutron attenuation and neutron-induced photons on 5% and 20% borated polyethylene slabs

Description

The coupled neutron/photon transport code TART has been used to calculate the attenuation of neutrons and the production of induced photons for neutrons incidents on 5% and 20% borated polyethylene slabs. The neutron attenuation lengths are found to be 2.4 cm and 2.9 cm for 5% and 20% borated polyethylene, respectively
