Since neutrons provide the principal background in direct dark matter detection experiments, the simulation of neutron induced nuclear recoils is crucial for background reduction. GEANT4 provides a framework for such simulations. While the simulation of the elastic scattering reactions agrees very well with the theoretical expectations, the simulation of the inelastic scatterings generally fails, i.e. energy conservation per reaction and angular-energy correlation of the recoiling nucleus are not respected. An improved code is used to correct these shortcomings. Further necessary improvements are addressed as well.
