  4. Abstract:
  5. In this study, the Geant4 toolkit is utilized to present a new approach for simulation of the D-T interaction. The neutron production cross-section and the energy/angle distribution of neutrons produced as the D-T data libraries are incorporated in the Geant4, and their performance is evaluated. The spectra shape of the produced neutrons of the D-T interaction simulated by the Geant4 show good agreement compared to the results of the comparative codes (i.e. MCUNED, ENEA-JSI, and DDT). However, some differences are observed, especially, in angular range of 90-95 degrees. The reason for these differences as well as the results of the proposed approach in comparison with the results of the benchmark experiments as the next study are under consideration. © 2022 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab
