Radiation detectors based on plastic scintillators coupled to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are widely used in nuclear physics, radiation security, and nuclear medicine. However, the final electrical signal exhibits inherent statistical fluctuations that limit the detector's energy resolution. This work presents a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation implemented in Python that models the entire...
Thermal neutron detection plays a key role in fields such as medical physics, materials science, and nuclear engineering. This work presents a simulation-based study of a thermal neutron detection system using the Geant4 toolkit alongside a proposed experimental setup. The system consists of an Americium-Beryllium (AmBe) source, a paraffin block for neutron thermalization, and a boron-doped...
