International audienceApplications of electron accelerators range from nuclear waste package assay and security-related tasks to radiation therapy. Studies aiming at characterizing photoneutron fluxes generated by electron accelerators are usually based on Monte Carlo simulation. In this paper, we critically review the performance of Monte Carlo transport codes to simulate photoneutron fluxes emitted by electron accelerators operating between 4 and 20 MeV, typically the energy range of interest for the aforementioned applications. First, we go through the state of the art and lay the foundations of current theoretical knowledge on photoneutrons. By carrying out additional investigations, we show that contamination of photoneutron fluxes by ...
