Dear Felix,
Without looking at your geometry but seeing that you mention "moderator"
I would guess that what you get at this 80 meV peak is actually the
"effective" moderator temperature, and if this guess is correct then
maybe a useful starting point for further understanding would be Chapter
13 from the Handbook of Spallation Research by Filges and Goldenbaum,
Cheers,
Vadim
