Abstract
A Monte Carlo computer simulation program has been developed to investigate the neutron response of a multi-gap resistive plate chamber (MRPC). This simulation program is based on the GEANT4 software package developed at CERN. A proper physics list known as a quark–gluon string model with the pre-compound model (QGSP) and a complete geometrical configuration of the MRPC are inserted in this simulation package. Neutrons are simulated through the MRPC in an energy range from 10−10 MeV to 1.0 GeV. The simulation results obtained are presented and discussed. A comparison of the current simulation results obtained for a MRPC with the experimental results available at a few energy points for a double-gap RPC is also presented.
