New simulation of the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++)
The simulation of the GIF++ facility at CERN has been updated to consider the experimental area that was upgraded in 2015. A new geometry was implemented in the Geant4 simulation code to calculate dose and flux distributions in the bunker. The simulation results are compared to recent dose measurements performed by the RPC EcoGas@GIF++ Collaboration. Some differences between measurements and simulation are evidenced, which can be however accounted for by the presence of mechanical structures in the bunker that were not introduced in the simulation.
