Add the possibility of a thermal neutron source to the lone silicon/germanium/argon geometries #8

Closed villaa closed 2 years ago

We have geometries that are simply lone chunks of these materials, but the sources were meant to be read from an nrCascadeSim output file, and throw only the correct gammas from our detailed cascade modeling.

We'd like to see here how Geant4 handles thermal neutron capture directly. So we need a source that is just thermal neutrons within the volume of the detector, in random directions.
