Dissemination of data measured at the CERN n-TOF facility
(EDP Sciences, 2017-09-13)
The n-TOF neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN is used for high quality nuclear data measurements from thermal energy up to hundreds of MeV. In line with the CERN open data policy, the n-TOF Collaboration takes actions ...
Towards the high-accuracy determination of the 238U fission cross section at the threshold region at CERN - N-TOF
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-15)
The 238U fission cross section is an international standard beyond 2 MeV where the fission plateau starts. However, due to its importance in fission reactors, this cross-section should be very accurately known also in the ...
High accuracy 235U(n,f) data in the resonance energy region
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-15)
The 235U neutron-induced cross section is widely used as reference cross section for measuring other fission cross sections, but in the resonance region it is not considered as an IAEA standard because of the scarce ...
High-accuracy determination of the U 238 / U 235 fission cross section ratio up to ≈1 GeV at n-TOF at CERN
(2015-02-09)
The U238 to U235 fission cross section ratio has been determined at n-TOF up to ≈1 GeV, with two different detection systems, in different geometrical configurations. A total of four datasets has been collected and compared. ...
Measurement and analysis of the Am 243 neutron capture cross section at the n-TOF facility at CERN
(2014-09-11)
Background: The design of new nuclear reactors and transmutation devices requires to reduce the present neutron cross section uncertainties of minor actinides. Purpose: Improvement of the Am243(n,γ) cross section uncertainty. ...
Measurement of the 242Pu(n,f) cross section at the CERN n_TOF facility
(2014-05-01)
The accurate knowledge of relevant nuclear data is crucial for the design of advanced nuclear systems. These data include neutron cross sections of various plutonium isotopes and other minor actinides. The 242Pu(n,f) cross ...
Ni-62(n,gamma) and Ni-63(n,gamma) cross sections measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(2014-02-28)
The cross section of the Ni-62(n,gamma) reaction was measured with the time-of-flight technique at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. Capture kernels of 42 resonances were analyzed up to 200 keV neutron ...
High-accuracy determination of the neutron flux at n_TOF
(2013-12-18)
The neutron flux of the n_TOF facility at CERN was measured, after installation of the new spallation target, with four different systems based on three neutron-converting reactions, which represent accepted cross sections ...
Performance of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN
(2013-02)
The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF features a white neutron source produced by spallation through 20 GeV/c protons impinging on a lead target. The facility, aiming primarily at the measurement of neutron-induced ...
