Neutron beams have been produced at Laboratory of High Energy Physics (LHEP) of University of Bern. LEHP is equipped with an 18 MeV cyclotron with an external beam line. Simulations, analytical calculations and kinematics studies have been carried out, in order to produce several neutron beam configurations with characteristics suited for specific applications. Furthermore, a procedure for energy modulation has been developed to match the fixed cyclotron energy to the needed requirements. The technique described in this work is of general application and can be applied to more intense beams up to 1010 pps.
