The 33S(n,α)30Si cross section measurement, using 10B(n,α) as reference, at the n TOF Experimental Area 2 (EAR2) facility at CERN is presented. Data from 0.01 eV to 100 keV are provided and, for the first time, the cross ...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are an essential tool to determine fundamental features of a neutron beam, such as the neutron flux or the γ-ray background, that sometimes can not be measured or at least not in every position ...

The neutron capture cross section of 204Pb has been measured at the CERN n TOF installation with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 440 keV. An R-matrix analysis of the resolved resonance region, between 1 ...

The 63Ni(n,γ) cross section has been measured for the first time at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN from thermal neutron energies up to 200 keV. In total, capture kernels of 12 (new) resonances were ...

The neutron capture cross section of several key unstable isotopes acting as branching points in the s-process are crucial for stellar nucleosynthesis studies, but they are very challenging to measure due to the difficult ...

A spherical optical model potential (OMP) containing a dispersive term is used to fit the available experimental database of s(u) and sT for n127Al covering the energy range 0.1–250 MeV using relativistickinematics ...

Experimentally determined level densities of the transitional isotopes 148, 149, 150, 152Sm at excitation energies below and around the neutron binding energy are compared with microcanonical calculations based on a Monte ...

Analytical solutions of dispersion relations in the nucleon-nucleus optical model have been found for both volume and surface potentials. For the energy dependence a standard Brown-Rho function has been assumed for both ...

An overview of recent developments in Geant4 hadronic modelling is provided with a focus on the start of the LHC experiments. Improvements in low-energy and high energy models were introduced. Many of these developments ...

An isospin-dependent coupled-channel optical model potential containing a dispersive term with a nonlocal contribution is used to simultaneously fit the available experimental database (including strength functions and ...
