Dear Terry

Yes it does. For low-energy neutrons (<20MeV) it is within the approximations of the multi-group transport, see
https://www.fluka.org/free_download/course/dresden2013/Lectures/10_Low_Energy_Neutrons_1013.pdf

FLUKA also simulates the radiation from radioactive decays and its transport.

Cheers
Stefan

Dear Stefan,

Thank you for you knowledge. Do you know if FLUKA will give me atleast the prompt gammas from the (n,g) reaction?

Yes and no. It can do all but consider the change of sample composition with time, e.g., FLUKA does not simulate neutron interactions on produced radionuclides.

Cheers

Hello,

Can FLUKA be used to irradiate a sample with a given neutron spectrum and fluence for a given period of time, determine depletion (activation?) chain of the sample, then model a detector and determine the resultant Gamma spectrum?

Regards,
