      abstract     = {The High Brilliance neutron Source (HBS) project aims to
                      develop a scalable Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source
                      (CANS) enabling neutron fluxes at the corresponding
                      instruments comparable to medium-flux fission-based research
                      reactors. For scalable CANS, the target material providing
                      the largest neutron yield depends on the energy of the
                      sub-100 MeV primary proton beam. Simulations based on the
                      TENDL database suggest that low-Z materials, e.g. Beryllium
                      and Vanadium, generate more neutrons at proton beam energies
                      below 20 MeV while high-Z materials, e.g. Tantalum, generate
                      more neutrons at proton beam energies above 20 MeV. In order
                      to improve the reliability of the underlying databases, the
                      neutron yield of p+Be, p+V and p+Ta for 22, 27, 33 and 42
                      MeV protons is indirectly determined by a novel method
                      through the measurement of the 2.23 MeV gamma ray of
                      hydrogen induced by thermal neutron capture in a
                      polyethylene moderator. The neutron to gamma conversion rate
                      is measured with an AmBe calibration neutron source.
                      Corrections for escaped neutrons are applied via an MCNP
                      simulation of the experiment. This contribution presents the
                      experimental results and a comparison with the neutron yield
                      obtained from simulations.},
