Intensive neutron beams with energies up to 33 MeV are produced using cyclotron driven broad-spectrum and quasi-monoenergetic neutron generators at the NPI CAS. The neutron beams are well characterized with the TOF and PRT measurements. The segmented Fe-CH2 collimator is used to collimate the neutron beam and two detection systems are being developed for the studies of the reactions with neutrons. The first one is the detection system of the charged particles at different angles from the (neutron, charged particle) reactions in a vacuum chamber, the second is an array of four HPGe detectors for the detection of direct and delayed gamma photons produced in reactions of the studied material with neutrons. The advanced bunching system is also being developed at the U120M cyclotron. It will allow to direct a short (few ns long) pulse of accelerated particles to the neutron converter with the 1 µs delay between bunches. Together with 7 m long flight path this extension will open new possibilities in the cross section measurements.
