Recent results at n_TOF and future perspectives
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2008)
The neutron Time-of-Flight facility at CERN has been used for a series of neutron capture and fission cross sections measurements. The facility, detectors and data analysis techniques are described, followed by a brief ...
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 ...
Measurement of neutron induced fission of (235)U, (233)U and (245)Cm with the FIC detector at the CERN n_TOF facility
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
A series of measurements of neutron induced fission cross section of various TRU isotopes have been performed at the CERN n_TOF spallation neutron facility, in the energy range from thermal to nearly 250 MeV. The experimental ...
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, ...
Status and outlook of the neutron time-of-flight facility
(2007-08)
The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN, fully operational since 2002, combines a high instantaneous neutron flux with high energy resolution. The wide energy range and the high neutron flux per time-of-flight ...
The La-139(n,gamma) cross section : Key for the onset of the s-process
(2007-03)
The nuclear resonance parameters and the capture cross section of the neutron magic isotope La-139 have been measured relative to Au-197 in the energy range of 0.6 eV to 9 keV at the neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) facility ...
Measurement of La-139(n, gamma) cross section
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
We measured the neutron capture cross section of La-139 relative to Au-197 in the energy range of 0.6 cV to 9 keV at n_TOF, the neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN. After a description of the experimental apparatus, ...
Implications of Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
The accurate knowledge of the Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section has important implications for the nuclear technologies as well as for fundamental studies. Due to its radioactivity, the only experimental data available on ...
Measurement of La-139(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)
The capture cross section of the 139La has been measured relative to 197Au standard at n_TOF. We provide here a short description of the experimental apparatus and of the data analysis procedures. The extracted resonance ...
