The angular and energy distributions of secondary neutrons produced from 26.7 MeV/nucleon ⁴He ions, stopping in thick Be, C, W and Pb targets are measured by the time of flight method. The GEANT4, PHITS, and FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation codes with different physics models are employed to simulate the neutron yields and the results are compared with the experimental data. For the thick Be and C targets, GEANT4 with INCL++ reproduces the experimental data reasonably well. Whereas PHITS with JQMD-2.0 overestimates the neutron yields at intermediate energies and FLUKA with PEANUT underestimated the neutron yields at intermediate energies. For W and Pb targets, FLUKA with PEANUT physics model agree with experimental data best. PHITS with JQMD-2.0 overestimates the neutron yield at intermediate energies at 0°, and GEANT4 with INCL++ underestimates the neutron yield at intermediate energies at three angles.
