Experimental neutron capture data of 58Ni from the CERN n_TOF facility
The neutron capture cross section of 58Ni was measured at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN, from 27 meV to 400 keV neutron energy. Special care has been taken to identify all the possible sources of background, with the so-called neutron background obtained for the first time using high-precision GEANT4 simulations. The energy range up to 122 keV was treated as the resolved res...
متن کاملThe CERN n_TOF facility: a unique tool for nuclear data mea- surement
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 interacting with the material under study. To this purpose, the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF has been operating since 2001 at CERN. Its characteristics, such as the...
متن کاملThe n_TOF Facility at CERN: Performances and First Physics Results
The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a source of a wide-range (1 eV<En<250 MeV) flux of neutrons, generated by spallation of 20-GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The goal of the n_TOF is to provide unprecedented precision in neutron kinetic energy determination, which will in turn bring the much-needed precision in neutron-induced cross-section measurements. The unique f...
متن کاملFission Fragment Angular Distribution measurements of 235U and 238U at CERN n_TOF facility
Neutron-induced fission cross sections of 238U and 235U are used as standards in the fast neutron region up to 200 MeV. A high accuracy of the standards is relevant to experimentally determine other neutron reaction cross sections. Therefore, the detection efficiency should be corrected by using the angular distribution of the fission fragments (FFAD), which are barely known above 20 MeV. In ad...
متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH CERN SL DIVISION CERN SL-2001-069 EET The Neutron Time of Flight Facilty at CERN
The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a high flux neutron source obtained by the spallation of 20 GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The proton beam beam is delivered by the Proton Synchrotron (PS) at CERN capable of providing up to four sharp bunches (6 ns) with an intensity of 7 10^ 12 protons per bunch within a 14.4s supercycle. The outstanding characteristics of this f...
متن کاملThe nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in Stars: the key isotope 25Mg
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 time-of-flight facilities n_TOF at CERN (Switzerland) and GELINA installed at the EC-JRC-IRMM (Belgium). The cross sections as a function of neutron energy have been measu...
