In this study, we carried out Monte Carlo simulations to obtain the energy resolution of the neutron flux for TOF measurements in the KURRI-LINAC pulsed neutron facility. The simulation was performed on the moderated neutron flux from the pac-man type moderator at the energy range from 0.1 eV to 10 keV. As the result, we obtained the energy resolutions (ΔE/E) of about 0.7% to 1.3% between 0.1 eV to 10 keV. The energy resolution obtained from Monte Carlo simulation agreed with the resolution using the simplified evaluation formula. In addition, we compared the energy resolution among KURRI-LINAC and other TOF facilities, the energy dependency of the energy resolution with the pac-man type moderator in KURRI-LINAC was similar to the J-PARC ANNRI for the single-bunch mode.
