Neutron measurements for advanced nuclear systems : The n_TOF project at CERN
(2011-12-15)
A few years ago, the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF was built at CERN to address some of the urgent needs of high-accuracy nuclear data for Accelerator Driven Systems and other advanced nuclear energy systems, as ...
Measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am-243 relative to U-235 from 0.5 to 20 MeV
(2011-12)
The ratio of the neutron-induced fission cross-sections of Am-243 and U-235 was measured in the energy range from 0.5 to 20 MeV with uncertainties of approximate to 4%. The experiment was performed at the CERN n_TOF facility ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Neutron Time-Of-Flight Facility n_TOF At CERN: Phase II
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2011)
Neutron-induced reactions are studied at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The facility uses 6 similar to ns wide pulses of 20 GeV/c protons impinging on a lead spallation target. The large neutron energy ...
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 ...
