Preliminary estimates of the impact of changes in the mission for space-based verification sensors can be obtained by using computer simulations. This paper describes calculations and measurements to evaluate the performance of representative designs for neutron sensors. The calculations use programs recently developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory to combine physics models for the production of neutrons at high energies with conventional codes for neutron transport at lower energies. Included are discussions of the physics assumptions, comparisons between calculations and laboratory calibrations, energy-dependent detector response functions, investigations of spacecraft background, and several studies of alternative sensor designs. The results provide a basis for future evaluations of detailed proposals for possible sensors.
