Abstract
Measurements have been recently published of the spatial variation of hadron and low-energy neutron fluence and of absorbed dose in the casc ades induced in iron and lead calorimeter structures irradiated by 200 and 24 GeV/c hadron beams. These experiments have been simulated usin g the FLUKA Monte Carlo shower code which now includes the emission of nuclear de-excitation products and the transport of low-energy neutro ns. In most cases the results agree with the measured data to better t han 20%.
