Neutron cross-sections for advanced nuclear systems : The n-TOF project at CERN
(2014-12-10)
The study of neutron-induced reactions is of high relevance in a wide variety of fields, ranging from stellar nucleosynthesis and fundamental nuclear physics to applications of nuclear technology. In nuclear energy, high ...
The (n, α) reaction in the s-process branching point 59Ni
(2014-06)
The (n, α) reaction in the radioactive 59Ni is of relevance in nuclear astrophysics as 59Ni can be considered as the first branching point in the astrophysical s-process. Its relevance in nuclear technology is especially ...
Capture cross section of 236U: The n_TOF results
(2014-05-31)
.Neutron induced capture cross section on 236U has been measured with high accuracy and high resolution at n_TOF, in order to improve data libraries needed for the development of advancednuclear reactors. Preliminary results ...
The CERN n_TOF Facility: Neutron beams performances for cross section measurements
(2014-05-01)
This paper presents the characteristics of the existing CERN n TOF neutron beam facility (n TOF-EAR1 with a flight path of 185 meters) and the future one (n_TOF EAR-2 with a flight path of 19 meters), which will operate ...
Measurements of neutron cross sections for advanced nuclear energy systems at n-TOF (CERN)
(2014-04-14)
The n-TOF facility operates at CERN with the aim of addressing the request of high accuracy nuclear data for advanced nuclear energy systems as well as for nuclear astrophysics. Thanks to the features of the neutron beam, ...
The nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in Stars : The key isotope 25Mg
(2014-04-14)
We have measured the radiative neutron-capture cross section and the total neutron-induced cross section of one of the most important isotopes for the s process, the 25Mg. The measurements have been carried out at the ...
238U(n, γ) reaction cross section measurement with C 6D6 detectors at the n-TOF CERN facility
(2014-04-14)
The radiative capture cross section of 238U is very important for the developing of new reactor technologies and the safety of existing ones. Here the preliminary results of the 238U(n,γ) cross section measurement performed ...
