Recent results in nuclear astrophysics at the n-TOF facility at CERN
(2016-09-11)
The neutron time of flight (n-TOF) facility at CERN is a spallation source characterized by a white neutron spectrum. The innovative features of the facility, in the two experimental areas, (20 m and 185 m), allow for an ...
Integral measurement of the 12C(n, p)12B reaction up to 10 GeV
(2016-04-22)
The integral measurement of the 12C(n, p)12B reaction was performed at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The total number of 12B nuclei produced per neutron pulse of the n_TOF beam was determined using the ...
Towards the high-accuracy determination of the 238U fission cross section at the threshold region at CERN - N-TOF
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-15)
The 238U fission cross section is an international standard beyond 2 MeV where the fission plateau starts. However, due to its importance in fission reactors, this cross-section should be very accurately known also in the ...
Fission Fragment Angular Distribution measurements of 235U and 238U at CERN n-TOF facility
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-15)
Neutron-induced fission cross sections of 238U and 235U are used as standards in the fast neutron region up to 200 MeV. A high accuracy of the standards is relevant to experimentally determine other neutron reaction cross ...
The new vertical neutron beam line at the CERN n-TOF facility design and outlook on the performance
(2015-11-01)
At the neutron time-of-flight facility n-TOF at CERN a new vertical beam line was constructed in 2014, in order to extend the experimental possibilities at this facility to an even wider range of challenging cross-section ...
Integral cross section measurement of the 12C(n,p) 12B reaction
(CERN, 2015-06-19)
The integral cross section of the 12C(n, p) 12B reaction was measured at the neutron time of flight facility n-TOF at CERN, from the reaction threshold at 13.6 MeV up to 10 GeV, by means of the combined activation and a ...
High-accuracy determination of the U 238 / U 235 fission cross section ratio up to ≈1 GeV at n-TOF at CERN
(2015-02-09)
The U238 to U235 fission cross section ratio has been determined at n-TOF up to ≈1 GeV, with two different detection systems, in different geometrical configurations. A total of four datasets has been collected and compared. ...
Neutron cross-sections for advanced nuclear systems : The n-TOF project at CERN
(2014-12-10)
The study of neutron-induced reactions is of high relevance in a wide variety of fields, ranging from stellar nucleosynthesis and fundamental nuclear physics to applications of nuclear technology. In nuclear energy, high ...
GEANT4 simulation of the neutron background of the C6D 6 set-up for capture studies at n-TOF
(2014-10-01)
The neutron sensitivity of the C6D6 detector setup used at n-TOF facility for capture measurements has been studied by means of detailed GEANT4 simulations. A realistic software replica of the entire n-TOF experimental ...
