Measurements at n_TOF of the neutron capture cross section of minor actinides relevant to the nuclear waste transmutation
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
Accurate and reliable neutron-capture cross-section data for actinides are necessary for the proper design, safety regulation, and precise performance assessment of transmutation devices such as Fast Critical Reactors or ...
Measurement of the Th-232 neutron capture cross section at the CERN n_TOF facility
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
The use of a fuel cycle based on Th-232 can substantially reduce the radiotoxicity of the produced nuclear waste since the lower atomic and mass number of thorium results in a strongly suppressed build-up of the higher ...
Neutron capture cross section measurement of Sm-151 at the CERN neutron time of flight facility (n_TOF)
(2004-10-15)
The Sm-151(n,gamma)Sm-152 cross section has been measured at the spallation neutron facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The new facility combines excellent resolution in neutron time-of-flight, ...
A low-mass neutron flux monitor for the n_TOF facility at CERN
(2004-09)
A small-mass system has been developed for monitoring the flux of neutrons with energy up to 1 MeV at the new time-of-flight facility at CERN, n_TOF. The monitor is based on a thin Mylar foil with a Li-6 deposit, placed ...
New experimental validation of the pulse height weighting technique for capture cross-section measurements
(2004-04-01)
The accuracy of the pulse height weighting technique for the determination of neutron capture cross-sections is investigated. The technique is applied to measurements performed with C6D6 liquid scintillation detectors of ...
