Close-up of the high-energy response of a SiC detector, 28.3 mm², active thickness 100 μm, to 14.12 MeV neutrons. Two FLUKA simulations are plotted: the red curve takes into account only ionization contributions (non-ionizing energy losses are discarded), and the green curve uses all energy depositions. The Blue points are experimental data from reference [210]. The normalization is arbitrary, the simulations have been smeared with a Gaussian resolution as derived from the peak corresponding to the ¹²C(n,α₀)⁹Be reaction. The same peak has been used to fix the energy scale. On the top axis, the available energy (E_n − Q_i) is indicated for the open channels with an α particle and no neutrons in the final state.
