Low Energy Neutrino Generator on the Basis of FLUKA

Abstract

Detection of low-energy anti-neutrino has certain applications in science and technology. Recently, the FLUKA collaboration, so-called the PEANUT model, has been developed which is capable of simulating all neutrino flavors from the threshold up to TeV. Here, the FLUKA code will be demonstrated as a neutrino event generator, upon emphasizing the interaction of low-energy electron anti-neutrino (i.e., those coming from nuclear reactors). The results which are reported in this paper show the applicability and capability of the code to be applied for such purposes. An important feature of the FLUKA code is its potential to track several types of particles (here most of them are considered as secondaries), and also the complicated geometries which imply that the present code is a powerful tool kit for neutrino engineering applications.
