A tool for calculation of 7Li(p,n)7Be neutron source spectra below the three-body break-up reaction threshold

A tool for calculation of 7Li(p,n)7Be neutron source spectra below the three-body break-up reaction threshold

We developed a new deterministic neutron source spectrum code EPEN - Energy of Proton Energy of Neutron - for a given lithium target thickness, sample angular coverage and proton energy from the reaction threshold to the three-body break-up threshold. The angular differential cross sections of the 7...
