Hi Vittorio,
I am attaching the pdf file for the data I am benchmarking. It is
table-2 on page-8. May be the spectrum given in the table is the
representative spallation spectrum. The spectrum I am getting is softer
compared to what is given in the table. So I reduced the thickness of my
target keeping the length same. Now it matches reasonably with the given
spectrum. I don't know whether it's right what I am interpretting.
Please help and sorry for late reply man.
