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 ...
Neutron capture cross section measurements at n_TOF of Np-237, Pu-240 and Am-243 for the transmutation of nuclear waste
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
Accurate and reliable neutron capture cross section data for actinides are necessary for the proper design, safety regulation and precise performance assessment of transmutation devices such as Fast Critical Reactors or ...
Implications of Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
The accurate knowledge of the Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section has important implications for the nuclear technologies as well as for fundamental studies. Due to its radioactivity, the only experimental data available on ...
Measurement of La-139(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)

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 ...
The data acquisition system of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN
(2005-02-11)
The n_TOF facility at CERN has been designed for the measurement of neutron capture, fission and (n, xn) cross-sections with high accuracy. This requires a flexible and-due to the high instantaneous neutron flux-almost ...
High-resolution study of Np-237 fission cross section from 5 eV to 1 MeV
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
A series of measurements of Np-237 fission cross section have been performed at the CERN spallation neutron facility n_TOF which covers a wide energy range from 1 eV up to 250 MeV. A fast ionization chamber (FIC) was used ...
