  • Abstract
    The work is aimed to compare results of the Monte Carlo simulations of pulsed neutron experiments with results of real experiments. The simulations have been performed for homogenous and two-zone system. In the first case the cylinder of Plexiglas has been used. In two-zone systems, Plexiglas has been used as an outer moderator and aqueous solutions of H3BO3 or KCl of known concentrations have been used as the inner samples. The simulations have been performed (1) using for neutron scattering in Plexiglas a standard library for H in polyethylene (a commonly suggested way) and (2) using a modification of this library. The modification gives very good agreement between simulations and experimental results.
