Abstract :
The TARC (Transmutation by Adiabatic Resonance Crossing) experiment has been simulated with the Geant4 toolkit. The experiment measured neutron production from 2.5 GeV/c and 3.5 GeV/c protons incident on high purity lead. The Geant4 simulation utilised either the Bertini or Binary nuclear cascade models together with the low energy neutron HP extension. The neutron time-energy correlation and relative fluence spectrum is compared between data and simulation. A thin target comparison was undertaken for incident protons of energy 800-1600 MeV and for pre-compound evaporation and nuclear de-excitation in the energy range 24-52 MeV.
