Resonance capture cross section of Pb-207
(2006-11)
The radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb-207 has been measured at the CERN neutron time of flight installation n_TOF using the pulse height weighting technique in the resolved energy region. The measurement has ...
Cross section predictions for hydrostatic and explosive burning
(2006-10-17)
We review different models used for reactions involved in nuclear astrophysics. The reaction rate is defined for resonant as well as for non-resonant processes. For low-density nuclei, we describe the DWBA method, the ...
alpha-induced cross sections of Cd-106 for the astrophysical p process
(2006-08)
The Cd-106(alpha,gamma)Sn-110 reaction cross section has been measured in the energy range of the Gamow window for the astrophysical p-process scenario. The cross sections for Cd-106(alpha,n)Sn-109 and for Cd-106(alpha,p)In-109 ...
New measurement of neutron capture resonances in Bi-209
(2006-08)
The neutron capture cross section of Bi-209 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility by employing the pulse-height-weighting technique. Improvements over previous measurements are mainly because of an optimized detection ...
Neutron capture cross section of Th-232 measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN in the unresolved resonance region up to 1 MeV
(2006-05)
We have measured the neutron capture reaction yield of Th-232 at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The average capture cross section has been extracted in the energy ...
R-matrix analysis of Cl neutron cross sections up to 1.2 MeV
(2006-04)
We have analyzed and evaluated Cl-35, Cl-37, and Cl-nat neutron cross section data in the resolved resonance region with the multilevel Reich-Moore R-matrix formalism. Energies and widths were determined for 388 resonances ...
(n,gamma) cross-sections of light p nuclei
(2006-03)
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 is thought to be produced by ...
Study of the N=28 shell closure in the Ar isotopic chain : a SPIRAL experiment for nuclear astrophysics
(2006-03)
The structure of the neutron-rich nucleus (47)Ar has been investigated through the d((46)Ar,(47)Ar)p transfer reaction. The radioactive beam of (46)Ar at 10 A . MeV was provided by the SPIRAL facility at GANIL. The protons ...
Measurement of the Sm-151(n, gamma) cross section from 0.6 eV to 1 MeV via the neutron time-of-flight technique at the CERN n_TOF facility
(2006-03)
The Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section was measured with the time-of-flight technique from 0.6 eV up to 1 MeV relative to the Au standard with an overall uncertainty of typically 6%. Neutrons were produced by spallation at the ...
