The high-power liquid-lithium target LiLiT is bombarded by a kW-proton beam from the
superconducting linear accelerator SARAF to produce 30 keV quasi-Maxwellian neutrons.
We measure the cross section of astrophysical neutron capture reactions in the s-process
regime by activation and various means of decay and atom counting. The LiLiT concept is
considered also for application in neutron radiotherapy. The status of our activity in these
areas will be presented.
