Quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam from Li target

Dear users,

I am trying to simulate the reaction 7Li(p,n)7Be on the Lithium target
with the protons in the energy range from 20-100 MeV. We are using
proton beam + Li target for the production of quasi-monoenergetic
neutron beam for cross-section measurements etc.
There is no quasi-monoenergetic peak at the energy of incident protons
in the results of the simulation. What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you,
Mitja
