(2014-09-11)
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 ...

The CERN n_TOF Facility: Neutron beams performances for cross section measurements
(2014-05-01)
This paper presents the characteristics of the existing CERN n TOF neutron beam facility (n TOF-EAR1 with a flight path of 185 meters) and the future one (n_TOF EAR-2 with a flight path of 19 meters), which will operate ...
Measurement of the 242Pu(n,f) cross section at the CERN n_TOF facility
(2014-05-01)
The accurate knowledge of relevant nuclear data is crucial for the design of advanced nuclear systems. These data include neutron cross sections of various plutonium isotopes and other minor actinides. The 242Pu(n,f) cross ...
Measurement of the angular distribution of fission fragments using a PPAC assembly at CERN n-TOF
(2014-04-11)
A fission reaction chamber based on Parallel Plate Avalanche Counters (PPACs) was built for measuring angular distributions of fragments emitted in neutron-induced fission of actinides at the neutron beam available at the ...
Ni-62(n,gamma) and Ni-63(n,gamma) cross sections measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(2014-02-28)
The cross section of the Ni-62(n,gamma) reaction was measured with the time-of-flight technique at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. Capture kernels of 42 resonances were analyzed up to 200 keV neutron ...
