Abstract

The objective of this project was to model and build a CR-39 detector in TOPAS and perform MC simulations to learn about the detector’s response to neutrons of variousenergies. We identified two tasks to be performed toward the completion of this objective. Therefore, in this report, I summarize the two Monte Carlo Simulation tasks that were performed using TOPAS.
