Output factor determination for dose measurements in axial and perpendicular planes using a silicon strip detector
(American Physical Society, 2012-04-23)
In this work we present the output factor measurements of a clinical linear accelerator using a silicon strip detector coupled to a new system for complex radiation therapy treatment verification. The objective of these ...

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 application for the simulation of the head of a siemens primus linac
(AIP Publishing, 2010)
The Monte Carlo simulation of the head of a Siemens Primus Linac used at Virgen Macarena Hospital (Sevilla, Spain) has been performed using the code GEANT4 [1-2], version 9.2. In this work, the main features of the application ...

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 ...

Neutron physics of the Re/Os clock. III. Resonance analyses and stellar (n, γ) cross sections of 186, 187, 188Os
(The American Physical Society, 2010)
Neutron resonance analyses have been performed for the capture cross sections of 186Os, 187Os, and 188Os measured at the n-TOF facility at cern. Resonance parameters have been extracted up to 5, 3, and 8 keV, respectively, ...

7Be(n, p) 7Li Reaction and the Cosmological Lithium Problem: Measurement of the Cross Section in a Wide Energy Range at n_TOF at CERN
(APS Physics, 2018-07-24)
We report on the measurement of the 7Be(n,p)7Li cross section from thermal to approximately 325 keV neutron energy, performed in the high-flux experimental area (EAR2) of the n_TOF facility at CERN. This reaction plays a ...

Dispersive coupled-channels optical-model potential with soft-rotator couplings for Cr, Fe, and Ni isotopes
(American Physical Society, 2013)
An approximate Lane-consistent dispersive coupled-channels optical potential is derived that describes nucleon-induced reactions on even iron isotopes. Realistic saturated couplings for 54,56,58Fe nuclei are built using ...

High-accuracy determination of the 238U/ 235U fission cross section ratio up to ≈ 1 GeV at n_TOF at CERN
(American Physical Society, 2015)
The 238U to 235U fission cross section ratio has been determined at n_TOF up to ≈1 GeV, with two different detection systems, in different geometrical configurations. A total of four datasets has been collected and compared. ...

Monte carlo simulations of the n-TOF lead spallation target with the Geant4 toolkit: A benchmark study
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
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 ...
