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 ...
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 ...
Simultaneous measurement of the neutron capture and fission yields of (233)U
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
We have measured the neutron capture and fission cross section of 233 U at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV with high accuracy by using a high performance 4 pi BaF(2) ...
Improved lead and bismuth (n,gamma) cross sections and their astrophysical impact
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
A series of (n,gamma) neutron capture measurements on the lead isotopes and bismuth have been carried Out at the CERN n_TOF installation in the neutron energy range from 1 eV up to 1 MeV. At n_TOF, contaminations due to ...
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
