Neutron induced reactions for the s process, and the case of Fe and Ni isotopes
(POS, 2012)Neutron capture cross sections are the key nuclear physics input to understand nucleosynthesis of the slow neutron capture process (s process). At the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN neutron capture cross ... -
PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE PROGRAMS OF THE n_TOF EXPERIMENT
(EDP Sciences, 2012)The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN, Switzerland, operational since 2001, delivers neutrons using the Proton Synchrotron (PS) 20 GeV/c proton beam impinging on a lead spallation target. The facility combines ... -
Simultaneous measurement of neutron-induced capture and fission reactions at CERN
(THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL A, 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 ...
