Co. %M FZJ-2021-00016 %P 164989 - %D 2020 %X The neutron yield for beryllium, vanadium and tantalum irradiated with 22, 27, 33 and 42 MeV protons is indirectly determined by Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA). The neutron-to-gamma conversion rate is measured with an AmBe calibration neutron source. Corrections by escaped neutrons are applied via MCNP simulations of the experiment using the ENDF/B-VII.1 database. The experimental results are in good agreement with the neutron yield obtained from simulations deviating by 0.4% to 13%. %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %U <Go to ISI:>//WOS:000612316900007 %R 10.1016/j.nima.2020.164989 %U https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/889080
