The ELIGANT-TN long neutron counter, the ELISSA silicon strip array and the Mini-eTPC active gas target detector all represent nuclear physics research tools constructed at Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) for use in γ-beam experiments. Currently, these three setups are used at the charged particle accelerators of the “Horia Hulubei” National Institute for R&D in Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH), for performing reaction cross-section measurements. Accurate knowledge of the incident beam energy is of paramount importance for such studies, which is why in the present article we report on a new proton beam energy calibration performed using the following threshold reactions: 7Li(p,n)7Be, 13C(p,n)13N and 51V(p,n)51Cr. The measurements were performed by varying the projectile energy across the key range of ∼ 1600-3200 keV. The results demonstrate a linear dependence of the projectile energy on the terminal voltage.
