Effect of high-energy neutron source on predicting the proton beam current in the ADS design

The accelerator-driven subcritical system (ADS) is driven by a neutron source from spallation reactions introduced by the injected proton beam. Part of the neutron source has energy as high as a few hundred MeV to a few GeV. The effects of high-energy source neutrons (En > 20 MeV) are usually app...
