Measurement of the prompt fission γ -rays from slow neutron-induced fission of 235 U with STEFF
(2024-03)
The average energy and multiplicity of prompt γ-rays from slow neutron-induced fission of 235U have been measured using the STEFF spectrometer at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF. The individual responses from 11 ...
74 Ge( n, γ ) cross section below 70 keV measured at n_TOF CERN
(2022-12-09)
Neutron capture reaction cross sections on 74Ge are of importance to determine 74Ge production during the astrophysical slow neutron capture process. We present new resonance data on 74Ge(n, γ) reactions below 70 keV neutron ...
First 80Se(n,γ) cross section measurement with high resolution in the full stellar energy range 1 eV - 100 keV and its astrophysical implications for the s-process
(2022-02-24)
Most elements heavier than iron have been generated in the stellar media by means of neutron capture reactions, approximately half are produced by the slow neutron capture or s-process. Radiative neutron capture cross ...
Destruction of the cosmic γ -ray emitter Al 26 in massive stars: Study of the key Al 26 (n,p) reaction
(2021-08-30)
The Al26(n,p)Mg26 reaction is the key reaction impacting on the abundances of the cosmic γ-ray emitter Al26 produced in massive stars and impacts on the potential pollution of the early solar system with Al26 by asymptotic ...
Measurement of the 72Ge(n,γ) cross section over a wide neutron energy range at the CERN n_TOF facility
(2021-04-27)
The Ge72(n,γ) cross section was measured for neutron energies up to 300keV at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF (CERN), Geneva, for the first time covering energies relevant to heavy-element synthesis in stars. The ...
Radiative neutron capture cross-section measurement of ge isotopes at n_TOF CERN facility and its importance for stellar nucleosynthesis
(2021-04-01)
This manuscript summarizes the results of radiative neutron capture cross-section measurements on two stable germanium isotopes, 70Ge and 73Ge. Experiments were performed at the n_TOF facility at CERN via the time-of-flight ...
A compact fission detector for fission-tagging neutron capture experiments with radioactive fissile isotopes
(2020-07-21)
In the measurement of neutron capture cross-sections of fissile isotopes, the fission channel is a source of background which can be removed efficiently using the so-called fission-tagging or fission-veto technique. For ...
