When a proton strikes a target with high energy, neutrons are produced. Is the number of neutrons produced calculatable, or random? This reaction would be proton-target fusion, followed by fission. Is the fission random, or is there a way to calculate the average neutrons per reaction? If so, which target materials produce the most neutrons per MeV of proton energy?
