mm-n run paper outline

• Introduction, what is about?• Tandem accelerator apparatus, experimental setup• Detector Performance – micromegas response to neutrons (sparks & current plots)• 5.5 MeV n vs 9.1 MeV n-runs• quality of neutron beams / the problem of deuteron breakup• photon component of the beam and surrounding materials• Energetic Compton electrons / activation of the detector

materials• MC fluka/geant understanding the rates, photons & neutrons• Future perspectives - low energy neutrons with Li-7(p,n) and

high energy with H-3(d,n)
