Neutron Spectra for Low Energy Quasi-Mono-energetic p+$^7$Li Reaction

Abstract

$\underline{\textbf{MO}}$nte-carlo $\underline{\textbf{N}}$ucleon transport $\underline{\textbf{C}}$ode (MONC) for nucleon transport is extended for below 20MeV proton transport using ENDF data. It is used to simulate p+$^7$Li reaction upto 20MeV proton energies and produced neutron spectra are reported here. The simulated results are compared with calculated values from other available codes like PINO, EPEN, SimLiT codes and experimental data. The spectra reported here can be used to get the neutron cross-section for this quasi-mono-energetic neutron reaction and will help to subtract the low energy contribution.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2008.1150
