Neutron research at the N-TOF facility (CERN) : Results and perspectives
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2013)
In the first ten years of operation, the neutron time-of-flight facility n-TOF at CERN has produced a large body of new and accurate data on neutron capture and fission cross sections, relevant to Nuclear Astrophysics and ...
Measurement of resolved resonances of Th-232(n, gamma) at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(2012-06-01)
The yield of the neutron capture reaction Th-232(n, gamma) has been measured at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The reduction of the acquired data to the capture ...
Measurement and resonance analysis of the Np-237 neutron capture cross section
(2012-04-20)
The neutron capture cross section of Np-237 was measured between 0.7 and 500 eV at the CERN n_TOF facility using the 4 pi BaF2 Total Absorption Calorimeter. The experimental capture yield was extracted minimizing all the ...
Resonance neutron-capture cross sections of stable magnesium isotopes and their astrophysical implications
(2012-04-20)
We have measured the neutron capture cross sections of the stable magnesium isotopes Mg-24,Mg-25,Mg-26 in the energy range of interest to the s process using the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. Capture events ...
Simultaneous measurement of neutron-induced capture and fission reactions at CERN
(2012-03)
The measurement of the capture cross-section of fissile elements, of utmost importance for the design of innovative nuclear reactors and the management of nuclear waste, faces particular difficulties related to the.-ray ...
Present Status and Future Programs of the n_TOF Experiment
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN, Switzerland, operational since 2001, delivers neutrons using the Proton Synchrotron (PS) 20 GeV/c proton beam impinging on a lead spallation target. The facility combines ...
Neutron induced reactions for the s process, and the case of Fe and Ni isotopes
(2012)
Neutron capture cross sections are the key nuclear physics input to understand nucleosynthesis of the slow neutron capture process (s process). At the neutron time of flight facility n-TOF at CERN neutron capture cross ...
Neutron measurements for advanced nuclear systems : The n_TOF project at CERN
(2011-12-15)
A few years ago, the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF was built at CERN to address some of the urgent needs of high-accuracy nuclear data for Accelerator Driven Systems and other advanced nuclear energy systems, as ...
Measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-243 relative to U-235 from 0.5 to 20 MeV
(2011-12)
The ratio of the neutron-induced fission cross-sections of Am-243 and U-235 was measured in the energy range from 0.5 to 20 MeV with uncertainties of approximate to 4%. The experiment was performed at the CERN n_TOF facility ...
