Plan
• Germanium nuclear recoil angular distribution in Geant 3
• Rock spectra propagation with Geant 3 and MCNPX
3
Angular distribution with Geant 321
Code THALYS used to calculate differential cross sections in the CM with Koning-Delaroche set of parameters and spherical nuclei (O. Bersillon , private communication :Proper reference to the code TALYSA.J. Koning, S. Hilaire and M. Duijvestijn, TALYS: Comprehensive nuclear reaction modelingProceedings of the International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology - ND2004Sep. 26 - Oct. 1, Santa Fe, USA, to be publishedProper reference to the optical model parameters for germaniumA.J. Koning and J.P. DelarocheLocal and global nucleon optical models from 1 keV to 200 MeVNuclear Physics A 713 (2003) 231-310)
Correction :

Modification in the SUBROUTINE COLISNIF (KZI.eq.32) call MYCANG
5
Edelweiss-I neutron calibration with 232Cf
Simulation with modified Geant-321
Ratio Data/Simulation [15 , 200 ] keV : 1.5
Data vs. simulation : good agreement in the nuclear recoil spectra
6
Propagation of neutrons through the LSM rock :Geant3 and MCNPX
Initial rock spetra :
- Spectrum calculated by V.Chazal (Astroparticle Phys.9 (1996)163-172 )
Neutron production in the rock : 1.143x10e-7 n/s/cm3
Neutron flux in lab reevaluated(G.Chardin et al IDM 2002 )
En > 2 MeV : 1.6x10-6 n/s/cm2
-Spectrum calculated by R.Lemrani with code SOURCES :
Neutron production in the rock : 1.133x10e-7 n/s/cm3
Rock composition introduced in Geant 3
Measured rock composition :LSM H C O Na Mg Al Si P K Ca Ti Mn Fe

Summary and outlook
- Relatively good agreement between the 2 codes G3 and MCNP-Continue code comparisons to understand the remaining discrepancies-Propagate the lab n spetrum through EDW-1 and EDW-II geometries to get correct nuclear recoil spectra for Germanium .
