%X The response functions (RFs) of a Bonner Sphere Spectrometer (BSS) with a 6LiI thermal neutron detector were calculated using the Monte Carlo codes PHITS (version 3.26) and MCNPX (version 2.7.0), with their own default nuclear data libraries, and physics models. RFs were compared with other published data, obtained for the same spectrometer using the MCNP6.1 code with its own physics models. A discussion on the influence of using different nuclear data libraries and physics models using these codes/versions is analyzed.
