Abstract

Abstract:

With a Geant4 software package based on the Monte Carlo method, a multi-cell 4 detection system is designed, which consists of 40 Gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillation detectors. These detectors, associated with a fission chamber in its geometrical center, constitute a platform. This platform is mainly used for the measurement of a fissionable nucleus (n, 2n) reaction cross section. In order to properly determine the experimental set-up, we carry out a systematic numerical simulation using our model which is established by the Geant4 software package. This work provides rich and valuable reference data for experiments on the fissionable nucleus (n, 2n) cross section measurement in the future.

Key words: (n,2n) cross section, Geant4, Gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator
