Summary
• detailed, exclusive, and systematic data needed for validation of models
• excitation energy distributions sensitive test of INC models
• no satisfactory description of pre-equilibrium cluster-emission
• neutron production in thick targets reasonably well described by different models (compensation effect)
• H, He production cross-sections large differences between different models
• radiation damage of the window due to He production decreases with p-energy
• preliminary results of p-induced fission of U as a function of Mlcp, Mn and E*
