Estimation of scattered radiation influence on neutron beams at a calibration laboratory using Monte Carlo simulation of a long counter

Estimation of scattered radiation influence on neutron beams at a calibration laboratory using Monte Carlo simulation of a long counter

At the Neutron Calibration Laboratory (LCN) of IPEN/CNEN, a 241AmBe source was used to test and calibrate neutron detectors. The neutrons emitted by the source reach the detector as intended, but they also scatter undesirably from the building's floor, ceiling, and walls, leading to indirect d...
