Measurement of the radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb-206 and its astrophysical implications
(2007-10)
The (n,gamma) cross section of Pb-206 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 620 keV by using two optimized C6D6 detectors. In the investigated energy interval ...
Status and outlook of the neutron time-of-flight facility
(2007-08)
The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN, fully operational since 2002, combines a high instantaneous neutron flux with high energy resolution. The wide energy range and the high neutron flux per time-of-flight ...
Neutron reactions and nuclear cosmo-chronology
(Elsevier, 2007-07)
The beta-decay of Re-187 (t(1/2) = 42.3 Gyr) represents a suited cosmo-chronometer for the age of the r-process abundances, since the radiogenic part of the daughter isotope (OS)-O-187 is defined by the difference between ...
The La-139(n,gamma) cross section : Key for the onset of the s-process
(2007-03)
The nuclear resonance parameters and the capture cross section of the neutron magic isotope La-139 have been measured relative to Au-197 in the energy range of 0.6 eV to 9 keV at the neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) facility ...
Measurement of the neutron capture cross section of the s-only isotope Pb-204 from 1 eV to 440 keV
(2007-01)
The neutron capture cross section of Pb-204 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF installation with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 440 keV. An R-matrix analysis of the resolved resonance region, between 1 ...
Measurement of the neutron induced fission cross section on transuranic (TRU) elements at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2007)
During the 2004 campaign, the n_TOF collaboration measured neutron fission cross sections for U-233, Am-241,Am-243, Cm-245, as well as the fission standards U-235.238, using a sealed Fission Ionization Chamber (FIC). The ...
Measurements of neutron capture cross-sections at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2007)
Capture cross-sections on isotopes relevant to accelerator driven systems for energy production and nuclear waste transmutation, and to stellar nucleosynthesis have been studied at the innovative neutron time of flight ...
Resonance capture cross section of Pb-207
(2006-11)
The radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb-207 has been measured at the CERN neutron time of flight installation n_TOF using the pulse height weighting technique in the resolved energy region. The measurement has ...
New measurement of neutron capture resonances in Bi-209
(2006-08)
The neutron capture cross section of Bi-209 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility by employing the pulse-height-weighting technique. Improvements over previous measurements are mainly because of an optimized detection ...
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 ...
