Description

In India, the 14 UD Pelletron Accelerator at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai (BARC-TIFR Pelletron) and Folded Tandem Ion Accelerator at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC-FOTIA) are main accelerators which serve as 7Li(p,n)7Be neutron sources for neutron induced reaction cross section measurements. Various activation cross section measurements have been performed for neutron captures up to En~17 MeV with these neutron sources. Since the TOF and multiple foil activation techniques cannot be applied at these accelerators due to the continuous beam structure and weak neutron flux, we have to rely on calculated neutron energy spectra for subtraction of the 7Li(p,n1)7 Be contribution. We, therefore, developed a new deterministic code EPEN - Energy of Proton Energy of Neutron
