High-accuracy U-233(n, f) cross-section measurement at the white-neutron source n_TOF from near-thermal to 1 MeV neutron energy
(2009-10)
The U-233(n, f) cross section has been measured at the white neutron source n_TOF in a wide energy range with a dedicated fission ionization chamber. We report here the results from similar to 30 meV to 1 MeV neutron energy. ...
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 ...
n_TOF Experiment: Past, Present And Future
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
The neutron Time-of-Flight facility at CERN was built to measure the neutron capture and fission cross sections. A short description of the facility, the detectors and the data analysis techniques will be illustrated. A ...
Fission Cross-Section Measurements On (233)U And Minor Actinides At The CERN n_TOF Facility
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
Neutron-induced fission cross-sections of minor actinides have been measured at the white neutron source n_TOF at CERN, Geneva. The studied isotopes include (233)U, interesting for Th/U based nuclear fuel cycles, (241,243)Am ...
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 ...
Nuclear physics for the Re/Os clock
(2008-01)
Dating the age of the universe by the beta-decay of (187)Re (t(1/2) = 41.2 Gyr) requires the accurate assessment of the s-process reaction flow. The daughter nucleus (187)Os as well as its immediate s-only neighbor (186)Os ...
Neutron resonance spectroscopy at n_TOF at CERN
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
Neutron resonance spectroscopy plays an important role in the investigation of neutron induced reaction cross sections and nuclear structure in the MeV excitation range. Neutron time-of-flight facilities are the most used ...
The measurement of the (206)Pb(n,gamma) cross section and stellar implications
(2008-01)
The neutron capture cross section of (206)Pb has been measured at the CERN n_TOF spectrometer using a setup of two C(6)D(6) detectors. In the energy interval from 1 eV to 600 keV the cross section is dominated by resonances, ...
