Hi Michel, As you probably know, I've taken over Tatsumi's bug reports since he is no longer at SLAC. That's why it's taking me some time to get them done. For this one, I checked with Pedro Arce, who says things seem to be OK with G4TENDL1.3.2/Alpha: neutron yield data for 5.4 MeV alpha on Be9 exist and seem to be correct. Are you using this version of TENDL, and Geant4 10.4 or later? If so, and if this is still a problem for you, I'll start looking at the code. Dennis Hello Dennis, In Geant4 10.5 neutrons are there. But with the usual behavior of ParticleHP : reasonable neutrons spectrum but many spurious nuclear channels if we do_not_adjust_final_state, and the opposite if we adjust_final_state. Hi Michel, I'm going to move this problem to development. It is the same problem we have had for a long time, and there is no easy solution. One thing we might do is split HP into "database mode" in which we get the right spectrum, but spurious channels, and "conservation mode" in which we get the correct channels but the wrong spectrum. Right now, I don't see a solution in which everyone is happy. I'm proposing that we have a discussion at Wednesday's hadronic group meeting. Dennis |
In the reaction alpha (5.4 MeV) on Be9, ParticleHP does not produce any neutron.
