Suppose some protons are impacted on a Lithium target to produce neutrons with energies close to the proton energy. If one considers Energy-loss due to proton-target collision (ionization of the target atoms), will this kind of energy loss influence neutron energy spectrum?
I am asked by my professor to calculate the energy loss of a proton beam with kinetic energy of 100MeV in a 28mm thick lithium target. I used Bethe-Bloch Eq to get the energy loss of the proton beam is about 3 MeV. But I have no idea whether this will have any influence on the spectrum of neutron.
I asked my professor today. He said we only need to consider Bethe-Bloch Eq to get the answer...Does anyone have any suggestion?
