Description

Results about single gap Resistive Plate Chambers' (RPCs) sensitivity to neutrons obtained with a Monte Carlo code based on GEANT4 are reported. The neutron sensitivity has been studied in the energy range between 100 eV and 1.0 GeV. The results from GEANT4 are then compared with equivalent results obtained in the GEANT3.21 framework and with the available experimental data
