First Measurement of 72Ge(n, γ) at n-TOF
(2018-06-29)
The slow neutron capture process (s-process) is responsible for producing about half of the elemental abundances heavier than iron in the universe. Neutron capture cross sections on stable isotopes are a key nuclear physics ...
Preparation and characterization of 33S samples for 33S(n,α)30Si cross-section measurements at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(2018-05-11)
Thin 33S samples for the study of the 33S(n,α)30Si cross-section at the n_TOF facility at CERN were made by thermal evaporation of 33S powder onto a dedicated substrate made of kapton covered with thin layers of copper, ...
Experimental setup and procedure for the measurement of the 7Be(n,p)7Li reaction at n_TOF
(2018-04-11)
Following the completion of the second neutron beam line and the related experimental area (EAR2) at the n_TOF spallation neutron source at CERN, several experiments were planned and performed. The high instantaneous neutron ...
Radiative neutron capture on Pu 242 in the resonance region at the CERN n-TOF-EAR1 facility
(2018-02-06)
The spent fuel of current nuclear reactors contains fissile plutonium isotopes that can be combined with uranium to make mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. In this way the Pu from spent fuel is used in a new reactor cycle, contributing ...
