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 ...

80Se(n,?) cross-section measurement at CERN n TOF
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020)
Radiative neutron capture cross section measurements are of fundamental importance for the study of the slow neutron capture (s-) process of nucleosynthesis. This mechanism is responsible for the formation of most elements ...

Measurement of the 244Cm and 246Cm neutron-induced capture cross sections at the n_TOF facility
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
The neutron capture reactions of the 244Cm and 246Cm isotopes open the path for the formation of heavier Cm isotopes and heavier elements such as Bk and Cf in a nuclear reactor. In addition, both isotopes belong to the ...

The 154Gd neutron capture cross section measured at the n_TOF facility and its astrophysical implications
(EDP Sciences, 2020)
The (n, γ) cross sections of the gadolinium isotopes play an important role in the study of the stellar nucleosynthesis. In particular, among the isotopes heavier than Fe, 154Gd together with 152Gd have the peculiarity to ...

Measurement of the energy-differential cross-section of the 12C(n,p)12B and 12C(n,d)11B reactions at the n_TOF facility at CERN
(EDP Sciences, 2020)
Although the 12C(n,p)12B and 12C(n,d)11B reactions are of interest in several fields of basic and applied Nuclear Physics the present knowledge of these two cross-sections is far from being accurate and reliable, with both ...
