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 ... -
The n(-)TOF facility at CERN: Performances and first physics results
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a source of a wide-range (1 eV <E-n <250 MeV) flux of neutrons, generated by spallation of 20-GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The goal of the n_TOF is to provide ... -
Implications of Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)The accurate knowledge of the Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section has important implications for the nuclear technologies as well as for fundamental studies. Due to its radioactivity, the only experimental data available on ... -
Recent results at n_TOF and future perspectives
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2008)The neutron Time-of-Flight facility at CERN has been used for a series of neutron capture and fission cross sections measurements. The facility, detectors and data analysis techniques are described, followed by a brief ... -
Measurement of La-139(n,gamma) cross section at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)The capture cross section of the 139La has been measured relative to 197Au standard at n_TOF. We provide here a short description of the experimental apparatus and of the data analysis procedures. The extracted resonance ... -
Measurements of neutron capture cross-sections at n_TOF
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2007)Capture cross-sections on isotopes relevant to accelerator driven systems for energy production and nuclear waste transmutation, and to stellar nucleosynthesis have been studied at the innovative neutron time of flight ... -
Fission Cross-Section Measurements On (233)U And Minor Actinides At The CERN n_TOF Facility
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)Neutron-induced fission cross-sections of minor actinides have been measured at the white neutron source n_TOF at CERN, Geneva. The studied isotopes include (233)U, interesting for Th/U based nuclear fuel cycles, (241,243)Am ... -
An updated library of reaction rates for the astrophysical rp-process.
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)We are developing an updated library with reaction rates important for the study of the astrophysical rp- process. It includes both experimental and theoretical rates parametrized in terms of the standard REACLIB format. ... -
Astrophysical S-factor for alpha-Capture of (113)In in the p-Process Energy Range
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)The cross sections of (113)In(alpha, gamma)(117)Sb and (113)In(alpha,n)(116)Sb reactions have been measured using the activation method. The experiments were carried out at the ATOMKI cyclotron accelerator in the center ... -
Radiative capture reactions and alpha-elastic scattering on Cd-106 for the astrophysical p-process
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)In the present work both the (alpha,gamma) and (p,gamma) cross sections on the p-nucleus Cd-106 have been measured in the energy range relevant to the astrophysical p-process. The results are compared with the predictions ... -
Measurement of the neutron induced fission cross section on transuranic (TRU) elements at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2007)During the 2004 campaign, the n_TOF collaboration measured neutron fission cross sections for U-233, Am-241,Am-243, Cm-245, as well as the fission standards U-235.238, using a sealed Fission Ionization Chamber (FIC). The ... -
Recent experiments at ORELA and LANSCE, and their impact on compound nuclear models
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2008)We present results from two recent sets of experiments to demonstrate the continuing impact of neutron time-of-flight data on the underlying assumptions and parameters of compound nuclear models. -
Network calculations for r-process nucleosynthesis
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010)The r-process is known to be responsible for the synthesis of about half of the elements heavier than iron, nevertheless its astrophysical site has not yet been clearly ascertained, but observations indicate that at least ... -
The r-, p-, and nu p-Process
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010)The processes discussed in this review are three of the four nucleosynthesis processes involved in producing heavy nuclei beyond Fe (not counting the rp-process in Xray bursts). Opposite to the fourth process (the s-process), ... -

Reverse engineering of initial and boundary conditions with TELEMAC and algorithmic differentiation
(2013)The TELEMAC-SUITE with Algorithmic Differentiation (TELEMAC-AD) calculates the impact of a high number of spatially distributed parameters on flow conditions. This technique is a revolutionary step forward in open channel ... -
An L-Attributed Grammar for Adjoint Code
(PTI, 2007)Gradients of high-dimensional functions can be computed efficiently and with machine accuracy by so-called adjoint codes. We present an L-attributed grammar for the single-pass generation of intraprocedural adjoint code ... -
Adjoints for time-dependent optimal control
(Springer Nature Link, 2008-10-20)The use of discrete adjoints in the context of a hard time-dependent optimal control problem is considered. Gradients required for the steepest descent method are computed by code that is generated automatically by the ... -
A framework for proving correctness of adjoint message-passing programs
(Springer Nature, 2008-11-26)We propose a technique for proving correctness of adjoint message passing programs that relies on data dependences in partitioned global address space. As an example we discuss asynchronous unbuffered send/receive using MPI.
