Abstract

A simple model that provides a simulation of neutrons transportation in various materials in the energy range from 10-8 to a few MeV had been developed. The model is implemented in code C++. In performing the test calculations the model showed a significantly higher speed than using a package GEANT 4. With the help of the model the response function of a spherical neutron spectrometer had been calculated.
