From a solar flare or CME event, neutrons from nuclear collisions and gamma rays from particle decay can travel from the Sun to the Earth. However, neutral radiation on Earth can diminish the signal strength of the incident solar neutral radiation. We first simulated basic energy depositions from local gamma rays (10-100 MeV) and neutrons (20 – 200 MeV) in an inorganic scintillator for 10,000 events. We increased the complexity of the simulation by including a tungsten converter plate and broadening the possible incident directions of the neutral radiation to eventually mirror the SOlar Neutron TRACking (SONTRAC) project. Knowing the fractional amount of neutral radiation detected, we approximate how much the local neutral radiation lowers the incident solar neutral radiation signal, for different energy ranges.
