Neutron Capture Measurements on Minor Actinides at the n_TOF Facility at CERN : Past, Present and Future
(2011-08-11)
The successful development of advanced nuclear systems for sustainable energy production and nuclear waste management depends on high quality nuclear data libraries. Recent sensitivity studies and reports [1-3] have ...
Fission Cross-section Measurements of U-233, Cm-245 and Am-241,Am-243 at CERN n_TOF Facility
(2011-08-11)
Neutron-induced fission cross-sections of minor actinides have been measured using the n_TOF white neutron source at CERN. Geneva, as part of a large experimental program aiming at collecting new data relevant for nuclear ...
Np-237(n,f) Cross Section : New Data and Present Status
(2011-08-11)
In this document, we present the final result obtained at the n_TOF experiment; for the neutron-induced fission cross section of the Np-237, from the fission threshold up to 1 GeV. The method applied to get tins result is ...
Study of Photon Strength Function of Actinides : the Case of U-235, Np-238 and Pu-241
(2011-08-11)
The decay from excited levels in medium and heavy nuclei can be described in a statistical approach by means of Photon Strength Functions and Level Density distributions. The study of electromagnetic cascades following ...
High-energy Neutron-induced Fission Cross Sections of Natural Lead and Bismuth-209
(2011-08-11)
The CERN Neutron Time-Of-Flight (n_TOF) facility is well suited to measure small neutron-induced fission cross sections, as those of subactinides. The cross section ratios of (nat)Pb and (209)Bi relative to (235)U and ...
Neutron capture on Zr-94 : Resonance parameters and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections
(2011-07-15)
The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes play an important role in nucleosynthesis studies. The s-process reaction flow between the Fe seed and the heavier isotopes passes through the neutron magic nucleus ...
Neutron-induced fission cross section of Pb-nat and Bi-209 from threshold to 1 GeV : An improved parametrization
(2011-04-28)
Neutron-induced fission cross sections for Pb-nat and Bi-209 were measured with a white-spectrum neutron source at the CERN Neutron Time-of-Flight (n_TOF) facility. The experiment, using neutrons from threshold up to 1 ...
Au-197(n,gamma) cross section in the unresolved resonance region
(2011-03-17)
The cross section of the reaction Au-197(n,gamma) was measured with the time-of-flight technique at the n_TOF (neutron time-of-flight) facility in the unresolved resonance region between 5 and 400 keV using a pair of C6D6 ...
Astrophysics at n_TOF Facility at CERN
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2011)
The neutron time of flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a spallation neutron source with white neutron energy spectrum (from thermal to several GeV), covering the full energy range of interest for nuclear astrophysics, in ...
The Np-237(n,f) cross section at the CERN n-TOF facility
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2011)
The Np-237(n,f) cross sections have been measured at the n-TOF facility relative to the U-235 and U-238 fission cross sections. The n-TOF spallation neutron source at CERN is characterized by a high intensity flux, an ...
