Ali,
Unless implementation of this effect has recently taken place, it is likely
neccessary to extract the neutron absorption locations within the active BF3
volume from FLUKA and use typical energy-range relationship (Bethe-Block) to
determine the amount energy that escapes the region of interest. I think you
have two choices: interface your energy-range code inside MGDRAW or dump the
locations to an external file and process the data seperately from FLUKA.
And again assuming this has not been implemented, the Q value associated
with the ground state Li7 state fission channel is not considered and should
also be coded (Q~2.7MeV).
Attached are old results using this approach... The difference in the two
curves are caused by attempts to also include deadtime and pileup effects in
the electronics. Anyhow, I do not presume to be an expert so perhaps others
will have better ideas.
