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 ...
Implications of Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
The accurate knowledge of the Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section has important implications for the nuclear technologies as well as for fundamental studies. Due to its radioactivity, the only experimental data available on ...
Experimental (n,gamma) cross sections of the p-process nuclei Se-74 and Sr-84
(2006-01)
The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by the s and r processes. However, a small amount of stable isotopes on the proton-rich side cannot be made by neutron capture and are thought to be produced by ...
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 ...
Branchings in the gamma process path revisited
(2006-01)
The location of the (gamma,p)/(gamma,n) and (gamma,alpha)/(gamma,n) line at gamma process temperatures is discussed, using updated reaction rates based on global Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The results can be directly ...
Elastic alpha-scattering on proton rich nuclei at astrophysically relevant energies
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
In order to improve the reliability of statistical model calculations in the region of heavy proton rich nuclei several elastic alpha scattering experiments have been carried out at low bombarding energies on various ...
Towards a parity-dependent level density for astrophysics
(2005-10)
Astrophysical reaction rates are sensitive to the parity distribution at low excitation energies. We combine a formula for the energy-dependent parity distribution with a microscopic-macroscopic nuclear level density. This ...
Reaction rate sensitivity of the gamma-process path
(2005-07-25)
The location of the (gamma,p)/(gamma,n) and (gamma,alpha)/(gamma,n) line at gamma-process temperatures is discussed, using recently published reaction rates based on global Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The results can ...
A comprehensive study of the Cd-106(alpha, gamma)Sn-110 reaction at energies relevant to the p-process
(2005-07-25)
In order to test the reliability of reaction rate calculations in the framework of the Hauser-Feshbach statistical model, the cross sections of Cd-106(alpha,gamma)Sn-110 radiative capture reaction were determined in the ...
Measurement of the Sm-151(n,gamma)Sm-152 cross section at n_TOF
(2005-07-25)
The Sm-151(n,gamma) Sm-152 cross section, which is important for the interpretation of the Sm-151 branching as an s-process thermometer, was measured from 1 eV up to 1 MeV at the innovative n-TOF facility at CERN. Based ...
