 ya)\nThe production of neutrons through α-induced reactions play an impor
 tant role in fields such as nuclear astrophysics\, underground laboratorie
 s\, fission and fusion reactors and non-destructive assays for non- prolif
 eration and spent fuel management applications. However\, most of the curr
 ently available experimental data was measured decades ago\, is incomplete
  and/or present large discrepancies not compatible with the declared uncer
 tainties. New measurements addressing the actual needs are\, therefore\, r
 equired [1]. To that end the Measurement of Alpha Neutron Yields and spect
 ra (MANY) collaboration was formed.\n\nMANY is a coordinated effort aiming
  to carry out measurements of (α\, n) production yields\, reaction cross-
  sections and neutron energy spectra. The project relies on the use of the
  α-beams produced by the accelerators at CMAM (Madrid) [2] and CNA HiSPAN
 oS (Sevilla) [3\,4]. The measurements are carried out using different type
 s of neutron detection systems\, including the miniBELEN neutron counter [
 5]\, the MONSTER time-of-flight spectrometer [6] and the GARY array of gam
 ma detectors [7].\nIn this work we report the definitive results of the me
 asurement of the 27Al(alpha\,n)30P thick target neutron yields from 3.8 Me
 V up to 8 MeV. The measurment has been carried out at CMAM using the miniB
 ELEN neutron counter. The reaction cross-sections have been obtained from 
 the measured yields and the available stoppoing power data. \n\nBibliograp
