Neutron resonance spectroscopy at n TOF at CERN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutron resonance spectroscopy plays an important role in the investigation of neutron induced reaction cross sections and nuclear structure in the MeV excitation range. Neutron time-of-flight facilities are the most used installations to explore neutron resonances. In this paper we describe the basic features of neutron resonance spectroscopy together with recent results from the time-of-flight facility n TOF at CERN.

Measurement of the 197Au(n,γ) cross section at n TOF: towards a new standard
Two different detectors and techniques are employed at n TOF facility, at CERN, to improve the accuracy of the neutron capture cross section of 197Au(n,γ): a total absorption calorimeter and a set of C6D6. The accurate knowledge of this cross section is of great importance for all the (n,γ) reactions study. The neutron capture cross section and nuclear resonce parameters of the 197Au have been ...
متن کاملMeasurement of neutron induced fission of 235U, 233U and 245Cm with the FIC detector at the CERN n TOF facility
A series of measurements of neutron induced fission cross section of various TRU isotopes have been performed at the CERN n TOF spallation neutron facility, in the energy range from thermal to nearly 250MeV. The experimental apparatus consists in a fast ionization chamber (FIC), used as a fission fragment detector with a high efficiency. Good discrimination between alphas and fission fragments ...

In this paper we will report on tests we have performed at GELINA (IRMM Geel), CYCLONE (Louvain-la-Neuve) and n-ToF (CERN) to demonstrate that the in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy can be adapted to low frequency white neutron beams or to quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams in order to measure (n,xn) cross sections. After a description of the nuclear data status, regarding the hybrid system thematic, of...
متن کاملNeutron - induced fission cross - section of 233 U in the energy range 0 . 5 < En < 20 MeV The n TOF
The neutron-induced fission cross-section of U has been measured at the CERN n TOF facility relative to the standard fission cross-section of U between 0.5 and 20MeV. The experiment was performed with a fast ionization chamber for the detection of the fission fragments and to discriminate against α-particles from the natural radioactivity of the samples. The high instantaneous flux and the low ...

The neutron-induced fission cross-section of Am has been measured relative to the standard fission cross-section of U between 0.5 and 20MeV. The experiment was performed at the CERN n TOF facility. Fission fragments were detected by a fast ionization chamber by discriminating against the αparticles from the high radioactivity of the samples. The high instantaneous neutron flux and the low backg...
