Dear Mihaela,
  did you put back the correct materials, i.e. steel to wall and argon
to target? Perhaps this is the problem: in my example I had left
vacuum to show you that the currents were the same, but in this case
no neutrons are generated.

You can also remove my USRBIN score to speed up the calculation.
