Predicting the optical observables for nucleon scattering on even-even actinides
(Chinese Physical Society, 2017)
The previously derived Lane consistent dispersive coupled-channel optical model for nucleon scattering on 232Th and 238U nuclei is extended to describe scattering on even-even actinides with Z=90-98. A soft-rotator-model ...

Cross section measurements of 155,157Gd(n, γ) induced by thermal and epithermal neutrons
(Springer Nature, 2019)
Neutron capture cross section measurements on 155Gd and 157Gd were performed using the time-of-flight technique at the n_TOF facility at CERN on isotopically enriched samples. The measurements were carried out in the n_TOF ...

Nucleon scattering on actinides using a dispersive optical model with extended couplings
(American Physical Society, 2016)
The Tamura coupling model [Rev. Mod. Phys. 37, 679 (1965)] has been extended to consider the coupling of additional low-lying rotational bands to the ground-state band. Rotational bands are built on vibrational ...

New measurement of the 242Pu(n,γ) cross section at n_TOF
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
The use of MOX fuel (mixed-oxide fuel made of UO2 and PuO2) in nuclear reactors allows substituting a large fraction of the enriched Uranium by Plutonium reprocessed from spent fuel. With the use of such new fuel composition ...

Measurement and analysis of the 243 Am neutron capture cross section at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(American Physical Society, 2014)
Background: The design of new nuclear reactors and transmutation devices requires to reduce the present neutron cross section uncertainties of minor actinides. Purpose: Improvement of the Am243(n,γ) cross section uncertainty. ...

Production yields at the distal fall-off of the β+ emitters 11C and 13N for in-vivo range verification in proton therapy
(Elsevier, 2022)
In proton therapy, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) range verification relies on the comparison of the measured and estimated activity distributions from β+ emitters produced by the proton beam in the patient. The accuracy ...

New measurement of the242Pu(n,γ) cross section at n-TOF-EAR1 for MOX fuels: Preliminary results in the RRR
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
The spent fuel of current nuclear reactors contains fissile plutonium isotopes that can be combined with 238U to make mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. In this way the Pu from spent fuel is used in a new reactor cycle, contributing ...
