Measurement of the radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb-206 and its astrophysical implications
(2007-10)
The (n,gamma) cross section of Pb-206 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 620 keV by using two optimized C6D6 detectors. In the investigated energy interval ...
Neutron reactions and nuclear cosmo-chronology
(Elsevier, 2007-07)
The beta-decay of Re-187 (t(1/2) = 42.3 Gyr) represents a suited cosmo-chronometer for the age of the r-process abundances, since the radiogenic part of the daughter isotope (OS)-O-187 is defined by the difference between ...
Measurement of the neutron capture cross section of the s-only isotope Pb-204 from 1 eV to 440 keV
(2007-01)
The neutron capture cross section of Pb-204 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF installation with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 440 keV. An R-matrix analysis of the resolved resonance region, between 1 ...
Resonance capture cross section of Pb-207
(2006-11)
The radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb-207 has been measured at the CERN neutron time of flight installation n_TOF using the pulse height weighting technique in the resolved energy region. The measurement has ...
alpha-induced cross sections of Cd-106 for the astrophysical p process
(2006-08)
The Cd-106(alpha,gamma)Sn-110 reaction cross section has been measured in the energy range of the Gamow window for the astrophysical p-process scenario. The cross sections for Cd-106(alpha,n)Sn-109 and for Cd-106(alpha,p)In-109 ...
Measurement of the Sm-151(n, gamma) cross section from 0.6 eV to 1 MeV via the neutron time-of-flight technique at the CERN n_TOF facility
(2006-03)
The Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section was measured with the time-of-flight technique from 0.6 eV up to 1 MeV relative to the Au standard with an overall uncertainty of typically 6%. Neutrons were produced by spallation at the ...
Experimental (n,gamma) cross sections of the p-process nuclei Se-74 and Sr-84
(2006-01)
The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by the s and r processes. However, a small amount of stable isotopes on the proton-rich side cannot be made by neutron capture and are thought to be produced by ...
Branchings in the gamma process path revisited
(2006-01)
The location of the (gamma,p)/(gamma,n) and (gamma,alpha)/(gamma,n) line at gamma process temperatures is discussed, using updated reaction rates based on global Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The results can be directly ...
Measurement of the Sm-151(n,gamma)Sm-152 cross section at n_TOF
(2005-07-25)
The Sm-151(n,gamma) Sm-152 cross section, which is important for the interpretation of the Sm-151 branching as an s-process thermometer, was measured from 1 eV up to 1 MeV at the innovative n-TOF facility at CERN. Based ...
Neutron capture cross section measurements for nuclear astrophysics at CERN n_TOF
(2005-07-25)
A series of neutron capture cross section measurements of interest to nuclear astrophysics have been recently performed at n-TOF, the neutron spallation source operating at CERN. The low repetition frequency of the proton ...
