 Hi Hantao,
 sure that FLUKA can do this.
 If you want to study the problem, I think you have to follow two steps:

 - build your proton source through the user routine source.f, which you
   call via the SOURCE card. In the include file (FLKSTK) you find
   the stack of the primaries: the Agestk variable is the age of the
   particle, in seconds. You can add the spread due to your proton pulse
   width.

 - store the temporal information of the outcoming neutrons (for ex. in
   a ntuple with all the informations you need...).
   To do this I would suggest to use the mgdraw.f routine, which is
   activated by the card USERDUMP with what(1) >=3D 100. There you can look
   for neutrons, for example at the boundary crossing (subroutine
   BXDRAW) between your moderator and the medium where you put it
   (i.e. air or vacuum); in the include (TRACKR) you find the variable
   Atrack, which is the age of the particle, always in seconds.

  cheers,

  Anna
