Background: The design of new nuclear reactors and transmutation devices requires to reduce the present neutron cross section uncertainties of minor actinides. Purpose: Improvement of the Am243(n,γ) cross section uncertainty. ...
Measurement of the 12C(n,p)12B cross section at n-TOF at CERN by in-beam activation analysis
(2014-08-19)
The integral cross section of the 12C(n,p)12B reaction has been determined for the first time in the neutron energy range from threshold to several GeV at the n-TOF facility at CERN. The measurement relies on the activation ...
The (n, α) reaction in the s-process branching point 59Ni
(2014-06)
The (n, α) reaction in the radioactive 59Ni is of relevance in nuclear astrophysics as 59Ni can be considered as the first branching point in the astrophysical s-process. Its relevance in nuclear technology is especially ...
Neutron Capture Reactions on Fe and Ni Isotopes for the Astrophysical s-process
(2014-06)
Neutron capture cross sections in the keV neutron energy region are the key nuclear physics input to study the astrophysical slow neutron capture process. In the past years, a series of neutron capture cross section ...
