A simple analytical formula for particle production by high energy pro
tons on thin-rod beryllium targets is discussed. This formula can be o
f great practical importance for fast calculations of neutrino fluxes
and for designing new neutrino beamlines. Comparisons with the predict
ions of a full Monte Carlo calculation based on the FLUKA generator ar
e presented.
