ACE-J40HE has been released by the Research Group for Reactor Physics and Standard Nuclear Code Systems.
We have been developing a neutron source for BNCT using p-Li target and comparing the results with Monte Carlo simulations.
In this study, we evaluated neutron spectra and neutron production by the p-Li reaction using ACE-J40HE.
