Measurements of neutron cross sections for advanced nuclear energy systems at n_TOF (CERN)
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
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 neutron time-of-flight facility n-TOF at CERN: Phase II
(AIP Publishing, 2011)
Neutron-induced reactions are studied at the neutron time-of-flight facility n-TOF at CERN. The facility uses 6∼ns wide pulses of 20 GeV/c protons impinging on a lead spallation target. The large neutron energy range and ...

197Au(n,γ) cross section in the unresolved resonance region
(American Physical Society, 2011)
The cross section of the reaction 197Au(n,γ) was measured with the time-of-flight technique at the n-TOF (neutron time-of-flight) facility in the unresolved resonance region between 5 and 400 keV using a pair of C 6D6 ...

The CERN n_TOF facility: a unique tool for nuclear data measurement
(EDP Sciences, 2016)
The study of the resonant structures in neutron-nucleus cross-sections, and therefore of the compound-nucleus reaction mechanism, requires spectroscopic measurements to determine with high accuracy the energy of the neutron ...

Astrophysics at n-TOF facility
(American Institute of Physics, 2010)
Heavy elements with Z ≥ 30 are made by neutron capture reactions during stellar He burning and presumably in supernovae. This contribution deals mainly with the slow neutron capture (s) process which is responsible for ...

Maxwellian Neutron Spectrum generation and Stellar Cross-Section measurements: measurement of the Au-197(n,gamma) MACS
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Maxwellian-averaged cross-sections (MACS) are needed as an input for the models of stellar s- and r-processes nucleosynthesis. MACS can be obtained from activation measurements, irradiating a sample with the neutron field ...

Measurement of the 240Pu(n,f) cross-section at the CERN n-TOF facility: First results from experimental area II (EAR-2)
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
The accurate knowledge of the neutron-induced fission cross-sections of actinides and other isotopes involved in the nuclear fuel cycle is essential for the design of advanced nuclear systems, such as Generation-IV nuclear ...

Simultaneous measurement of neutron-induced capture and fission reactions at CERN
(Springer Verlag, 2012)
The measurement of the capture cross-section of fissile elements, of utmost importance for the design of innovative nuclear reactors and the management of nuclear waste, faces particular difficulties related to the γ-ray ...

GEANT4 simulation of the neutron background of the C6D6 set-up for capture studies at n_TOF
(Elsevier, 2014)
The neutron sensitivity of the C6D6 detector setup used at n-TOF facility for capture measurements has been studied by means of detailed GEANT4 simulations. A realistic software replica of the entire n-TOF experimental ...

The nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in stars: the key isotope 25Mg
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
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 ...
