Monte Carlo simulation of IECF using Geant4 for neutron radiography

Neutron radiography (NRG) is a non-destructive imaging technique for image generation using neutron radiation. In this paper, feasibility studies of neutron radiography for IECF were performed by Geant4 Monte Carlo code. The effects of the different thicknesses of lead on the image and the detection...

description Neutron radiography (NRG) is a non-destructive imaging technique for image generation using neutron radiation. In this paper, feasibility studies of neutron radiography for IECF were performed by Geant4 Monte Carlo code. The effects of the different thicknesses of lead on the image and the detection possibility of cavities with different sizes inside a thick lead have been investigated to understand the performance of the device for neutron radiography purposes. The quality of the images was evaluated in terms of contrast. The simulation results showed the efficiency and limitations of NRG for IECF devices and the potential areas where NRG can be performed.
