Thermal neutron beam design based on9Be(p,n)9B reaction for neutron radiography using MCNPX and MCNP5-BETA codes


Abstract in English

The MCNPX and MCNP5-BETA codes were used to simulate the reaction 9Be(p,n)9B in the Syrian cyclotron,to calculate the neutron spectrum emission from this reaction and for neutronic calculations to design of the thermal neutron beam for thermal neutron radiography.
