A new CVD diamond mosaic-detector for (n, α) cross-section measurements at the n_TOF experiment at CERN
(2013-12-21)
At the n_TOF experiment at CERN a dedicated single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (sCVD) Diamond Mosaic-Detector has been developed for (n,α) cross-section measurements. The detector, characterized by an excellent time ...
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 ...
Angular distribution in the neutron-induced fission of actinides
(EDP Sciences, 2013-12-13)
Above 1 MeV of incident neutron energy the fission fragment angular distribution (FFAD) has generally a strong anisotropic behavior due to the combination of the incident orbital momentum and the intrinsic spin of the ...
Neutron studies for advanced reactors at n-TOF (CERN)
(2013-12)
The neutron time-of-flight facility n-TOF at CERN has been designed to produce cross-section data for neutron induced reactions in the neutron energy range from thermal to GeV. In the first ten years of operation, the ...
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 ...
Neutron Capture Cross Section of Unstable Ni-63 : Implications for Stellar Nucleosynthesis
(2013-01-08)
The Ni-63(n, gamma) cross section has been measured for the first time at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN from thermal neutron energies up to 200 keV. In total, capture kernels of 12 (new) resonances were ...
Measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-241 at the time-of-flight facility n_TOF
(2013)
The neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-241 has been measured relative to the standard fission cross-section of U-235 between 0.5 and 20 MeV. The experiment was performed at the CERN n_TOF facility. Fission fragments ...
Neutron research at the N-TOF facility (CERN) : Results and perspectives
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2013)
In the first ten years of operation, the neutron time-of-flight facility n-TOF at CERN has produced a large body of new and accurate data on neutron capture and fission cross sections, relevant to Nuclear Astrophysics and ...
Neutron-induced fission cross section measurement of U-233, Am-241 and Am-243 in the energy range 0.5 MeV
(2012-10)
Neutron-induced fission cross section measurements of U-233, Am-243 and Am-241 relative to U-235 have been carried out at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. A fast ionization chamber has been employed. All ...
Measurement of resolved resonances of Th-232(n, gamma) at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(2012-06-01)
The yield of the neutron capture reaction Th-232(n, gamma) has been measured at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The reduction of the acquired data to the capture ...
