Peak neutron production from the ⁷Li(p,n) reaction in the 20-35 MeV range

New experimental data on the peak neutron production in the Li-7(p,n) reaction were collected during several irradiation campaigns at the NPI CAS. Time-of-flight method was used to measure the number of the peak neutrons in the forward direction, and the number of produced Be-7 nuclei was determined using gamma-spectrometry. The new measurement results are compared with experimental data from the literature and used for the validation of several different systematics and nuclear data libraries developed over the years.
