A comparison of FLUKA simulations with the Roesti experiments

The latest version of FLUKA, a Monte-Carlo program which follows the development of cascades induced by the interaction of high-energy particles in matter, has been used to simulate the conditions of the Roesti series of experiments, where neutron activation detectors and dosimeters were exposed to the cascades generated by beams of 200 GeV/c and 24 GeV/c hadrons in iron and lead calorimeter structures. This paper gives a brief summary of the comparison of the results of these simulations with the experimental data and mentions other experiments of a similar nature where simulation work is still in progress.
