Abstract
The reliability and relevance of experimental data and calculations fo r the design and construction of the target assembly of spallation neu tron sources are discussed. New experimental data obtained in a new ap proach for neutron production in thick targets of Pb and U are present ed for 2-5 GeV/c hadrons. It is found that the observed mean neutron m ultiplicities-depend essentially on the incident available energy only while the variation with particle species for p, d, (p) over bar, K, and pi is within 10%.
