title: Extension of applicable neutron energy of DARWIN up to 1 GeV.
abstract: The radiation-dose monitor, DARWIN, needs a set of response functions of the liquid organic scintillator to assess a neutron dose. SCINFUL-QMD is a Monte Carlo based computer code to evaluate the response functions. In order to improve the accuracy of the code, a new light-output function based on the experimental data was developed for the production and transport of protons deuterons, tritons, (3)He nuclei and alpha particles, and incorporated into the code. The applicable energy of DARWIN was extended to 1 GeV using the response functions calculated by the modified SCINFUL-QMD code.
