  • Abstract
    We report measurements of thermal neutron fluxes at different locations in the STAR experimental hall during RHIC Run 13 with proton–proton collisions at s = 510 GeV . We compare these measurements to calculations based on PYTHIA as a minimum bias event generator, detailed GEANT3 simulation of the STAR detector and experimental hall, and with GCALOR as the neutron transport code. A fairly good agreement was found between simulation and measurements.
