Measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-241 at the time-of-flight facility n_TOF
(2013)
The neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-241 has been measured relative to the standard fission cross-section of U-235 between 0.5 and 20 MeV. The experiment was performed at the CERN n_TOF facility. Fission fragments ...
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 ...
Neutron capture on Zr-94 : Resonance parameters and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections
(2011-07-15)
The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes play an important role in nucleosynthesis studies. The s-process reaction flow between the Fe seed and the heavier isotopes passes through the neutron magic nucleus ...
Astrophysics at n_TOF Facility at CERN
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2011)
The neutron time of flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a spallation neutron source with white neutron energy spectrum (from thermal to several GeV), covering the full energy range of interest for nuclear astrophysics, in ...
The n_TOF Total Absorption Calorimeter for neutron capture measurements at CERN
(2009-09-21)
The n_TOF Collaboration has built and commissioned a high-performance detector for (n, gamma) measurements called the Total Absorption Calorimeter (TAC). The TAC was especially designed for measuring neutron capture ...
Experimental study of the (91)Zr(n, gamma) reaction up to 26 keV
(2008-10)
The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes are relevant to studies in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and nuclear technology. The valence neutron of (91)Zr with respect to the neutron magic nucleus ...
Measurement of the (90,91,92,93,94,96)Zr(n,gamma) and (139)La(n,gamma) cross sections at n_TOF
(EDP Sciences, 2008-06)
Neutron capture cross sections of Zr and La isotopes have important implications in the field of nuclear astrophysics as well as in the nuclear technology. In particular the Zr isotopes play a key role for the determination ...
Neutron capture cross section of (90)Zr : Bottleneck in the s-process reaction flow
(2008-03)
The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes have important implications in nuclear astrophysics and for reactor design. The small cross section of the neutron magic nucleus (90)Zr, which accounts for more than ...
The neutron capture cross sections of (237)Np(n,gamma) and (240)Pu(n,gamma) and its relevance in the transmutation of nuclear waste
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
Neutron capture cross sections of actinides are of great relevance for the Transmutation of Nuclear Waste in Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) and Generation-IV reactors. The neutron capture cross sections of (237)Np and ...
Measurement of the (197)Au(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF : towards a new standard
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
Two different detectors and techniques are employed at n_TOF facility, at CERN, to improve the accuracy of the neutron capture cross section of (197)Au(n,gamma): a total absorption calorimeter and a Set Of C(6)D(6). The ...
