Abstract: The High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project was initiated at the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science of the Forschungszentrum Jülich (JCNS). In the framework of this project the neutron emission induced by irradiation of beryllium, vanadium and tantalum targets irradiated with protons of various energies (22-42 MeV) were measured at the accelerator facility Julic-Cyclotron at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Simulations of the neutron emission were carried out first with the MCNP code. In this work, we report on the simulations of the neutron emission using the FLUKA code. The results are compared to those obtained with the MCNP code and to the experimental data.
