Abstract
We describe neutron response simulations along with benchmark measurements for various configurations of a moderated Helium-3 filled proportional counter suitable for handheld security applications. The results show an excellent agreement within measurement uncertainties between the measurements and the simulations. This allows us to optimize the detector configuration and predict the detector performance for different packaging and applications.
