Geant4 based simulations for novel neutron detector development

Kittelmann, Irena LU ; Stefanescu, I. ; Kanaki, Kalliopi LU ; Boin, M. ; Hall-Wilton, Richard LU and Zeitelhack, K. (2014) 20th International Conference on Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics (CHEP) 513. p.022017-022017
Abstract
A Geant4-based Python/C++ simulation and coding framework, which has been developed and used in order to aid the R&D efforts for thermal neutron detectors at neutron scattering facilities, is described. Built upon configurable geometry and generator modules, it integrates a general purpose object oriented output file format with meta-data, developed to facilitate a faster turn-around time when setting up and analysing simulations. Also discussed are the extensions to Geant4 which have been implemented in order to include the effects of low-energy phenomena such as Bragg diffraction in the polycrystalline support materials of the neutron detectors. Finally, an example application of the framework is briefly shown.
