Abstract
Neutron energy spectra and angular distributions are calculated for 120 GeV protons on thick graphite, aluminum, copper, and tungsten targets using relevant physics models within the Monte-Carlo simulation package Geant4. The calculations are compared to data from recent experiment. Discrepancies are observed between experimental data and Geant4 models, and suggest that improvements of the intra-(INC) and inter-nuclear cascade processes employed by the models are required.
