摘要：

The Li-7(p,n) reaction in combination with a 3.7 MV Van de Graaff accelerator was routinely used at FZK to perform activation as well as time-of-flight measurements with neutrons in the keV-region. Planned new setups with much higher proton currents like SARAF and FRANZ and the availability of liquid-lithium target technology will trigger a renaissance of this method. A detailed understanding of the neutron spectrum is not only important during the planning phase of an experiment, but also for the analysis of activation experiments. Therefore, the Monte-Carlo based program PINO (Protons In Neutrons Out) was developed, which allows the simulation of neutron spectra considering the geometry of the setup and the proton-energy distribution.
