[fluka-discuss]: Clarification on neutron yield

Hello everyone,

I have calculated 2 GeV protons impinging on tungsten target and neutron
yield in FLUKA 56 neutrons per source particle, while in MCNPX 79 neutrons
per source particle.
The difference is rather large and I was thinking maybe I do not account
all the neutrons in FLUKA.

FLUKA defaults were:
 precision
 evaporation with heavy fragments is on
 coalescence is on
Low-neut transport is on

I took the neutrons from table:
 Number of secondaries generated in inelastic interactions per beam
particle:


However low energy neutrons and neutrons are treated separately and maybe
this number does not include the neutrons with energy below the 20 MeV ?

As I am quite new to FLUKA any insight on the problem would be helpful.

See attached summary of the FLUKA run.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Sincerely,
Benjaminas Marcinkevičius
