Simulation of Malaysian Small Angle Neutron Scattering Using Monte Carlo

Article Preview

Abstract:

Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) virtual experiment using silicon dioxide (SiO2) target has been performed. The results showed neutron flux with 1 million neutrons per count from the source in the range of 1.02x108n/s/cm2 and wavelength 5 Å. The neutron intensity was found to decrease after scattered at 1.75x105n/s/cm2 by nuclei in SiO2. We are able to construct a virtual experiment layout of Malaysian Small Angle Neutron Scattering (mySANS) facility using Monte Carlo simulation of neutron instruments (McStas).
