Neutron yield from extended lead target under incident protons of 0.1 to 100 GeV

Abstract The results of calculations of the neutron yield from a cylindric lead target ( φ = 20 cm, L = 60 cm) irradiated with a proton beam of energy up to 100 GeV are presented. The modeling was made with the Monte-Carlo method based on the exclusive hadron transport code SHIELD. A comparison with available experimental data is also given.
