Computer Simulation of the Efficiency of the Detection by the Neutron Detector

of the GAMMA400 GammaRay Telescope

The neutron detector of the GAMMA

400 gamma
ray telescope has been simulated using the GEANT4
toolkit. Three variants of the detector have been used in the simulations. In the first variant, the detector con

sists of alternating layers of a plastic scintillator and cadmium sheets. In the second variant, the detector in

cludes cadmium, boron, plastic scintillator, and polyethylene layers. In the third variant, polyethylene in

cluding gas
discharge counters that are based on gaseous helium
3 and have the shape of cylinders of a given
size is used as a moderator. The neutron detector has been irradiated by a planeparallel neutron flux. The
incident neutron spectrum ranges from 7.94 107 GeV to 13.73 GeV. The efficiencies of the detecting of neu

trons have been calculated for three models of the detector. The most efficient model of the detector has been
chosen by comparing the calculation results.
Keywords: GAMMA
400 gamma
ray telescope, neutron spectrum, simulation of the efficiency.
