N1 - Funding Information:
We wish to thank D. Hirooka, H. Kato, Y. Kitamura, S. Sakoda, and N. Uchigashima for their help in the early stages of construction and development of the (n,p) facility. We appreciate the support of H.P. Yoshida in the development of the trigger system. H.S. and H.O. would like to thank S. Yen and K.P. Jackson for fruitful discussions and their kind hospitality during their stay at TRIUMF. We acknowledge the outstanding support of the accelerator group of RCNP. The experiments were performed under RCNP Program Numbers E138 and E149. This work is supported financially in part by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (10304018 and 17002003) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan.

N2 - A facility for studying (n,p) reactions at neutron kinetic energies of 140 ≲ Tn ≲ 300 MeV has been constructed by using the existing Large Acceptance Spectrometer at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka University. A neutron beam produced by the 7Li(p,n) reaction hits the (n,p) targets located in a segmented target system, which allows one to use a relatively thick target in total (∼ 0.5 g / cm2) with a moderate energy resolution of ∼ 1 MeV. The facility enables one to obtain spectra at 300 MeV up to an excitation energy of 70 MeV with a single setting of the spectrometer. This (n,p) facility has a large effective solid angle of 11 msr for an effective target size of 30W × 20H mm2.
