1 Introduction
Proper knowledge of neutron-induced cross sections from thermal energies to
several MeV is important for many physical applications. However, the lack of
a mono-energetic neutron source in the full energy range hampers direct crosssection measurements. The short half-lives of many isotopes of astrophysical
interest make it impossible to create targets for direct measurements using neutron
