Abstract

The NE102 plastic scintillator response to 137Cs gamma rays and NE213 liquid scintillator response to both mono-energetic and 241Am–Be neutrons have been modeled using FLUKA׳s EVENTBIN and MCNPX׳s PTRAC cards. The comparison made in different energy regions confirms that the overall difference is less than 6%.
