Neutron capture cross section of Th-232 measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN in the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV
(2006-05)
We have measured the neutron capture reaction yield of Th-232 at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The average capture cross section has been extracted in the energy ...
Measurement of La-139(n, gamma) cross section
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
We measured the neutron capture cross section of La-139 relative to Au-197 in the energy range of 0.6 cV to 9 keV at n_TOF, the neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN. After a description of the experimental apparatus, ...
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 ...
Measurement of La-139(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
The capture cross section of the 139La has been measured relative to 197Au standard at n_TOF. We provide here a short description of the experimental apparatus and of the data analysis procedures. The extracted resonance ...
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 ...
New measurement of the capture cross section of bismuth and lead isotopes
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
All the stable lead isotopes and Bi-209 have been recently measured at n-TOF [I] (CERN) in the range from 1 eV up to I MeV, using an optimized experimental setup. A set of two homemade CA detectors with carbon-fibre canning ...
The n(-)TOF facility at CERN: Performances and first physics results
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a source of a wide-range (1 eV <E-n <250 MeV) flux of neutrons, generated by spallation of 20-GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The goal of the n_TOF is to provide ...
Neutron capture cross sections for the Re/Os clock
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
The radioactive decay of (187)Re -> (187)Os (t(1/2) = 43 Gyr) is suited for dating the onset of heavy-element nucleosynthesis. The radiogenic contribution to the (187)Os abundance is the difference between the natural ...
Measurement of capture cross sections of 90,91,92,94,96Zr isotopes at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
The neutron capture cross sections for Zr isotopes have important implications in nuclear technologies as well in the field of nuclear astrophysics. The innovative features of the n_TOF CERN facility allowed for an accurate ...
Measurements at n_TOF of the neutron capture cross section of minor actinides relevant to the nuclear waste transmutation
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
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 ...
