Total neutron energy fluence produced in a water phantom as a function of the kinetic energy of the incident monoenergetic proton pencil beam. The solid curve is a power fit of the data, showing the dependence of neutron production on incident proton kinetic energy. Data shown are the result of Monte Carlo simulations using the MCNPX transport code.
