Measurements of (n, Xn) Cross Sections for Hybrid Systems

چکیده
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 the (n,xn) reactions and of the in-beam γ-ray techniques, the results on Pb(n,2n), Pb(n,n’) and Th(n,5n) preliminary measurements will be presented. Real measurements of Pb(n,2n), Pb(n,n’) and Th(n,5n) have been performed from April to July 2004, preliminary results will be discussed.

Measurements of Cross-sections of the Neutron Threshold Reactions and Their Usage in High Energy Neutron Measurements at “energy plus Transmutation”
We measured neutron cross-sections of various threshold reactions using different quasimonoenergetic neutron sources. Our motivation for the cross-section measurements comes from the "Energy plus Transmutation" project. In this international project we use neutron activation foils for measurements of high energy neutron field, which is produced during the proton or deuteron irradiation of a thi...
متن کاملThe Use of Ge Detectors for (n,xn) Cross-section Measurements at Intense and Low Frequency Pulsed Neutron Beams
In Accelerator-driven Systems (ADS), (n,xn) reactions have more importance than in conventional reactors. Indeed in ADS the external neutron flux provided by the accelerator is produced by spallation reactions, which means that its spectrum extends to several hundreds of MeV. On the other hand, the cross-sections of these reactions are often badly known. This is due in part to the fact that few...

Our presented research is focused on cross-section measurements of (n,xng) reactions in the framework of Generation IV nuclear reactors studies. Indeed the development of new fast reactors or the investigations concerning new fuel cycles require the improvement of nuclear databases over a wide range of energies, nuclei and reactions. One of the challenges of new measurements, in this field, is ...
متن کاملOn the strong convergence theorems by the hybrid method for a family of mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces
Some algorithms for nding common xed point of a family of mappings isconstructed. Indeed, let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformlyconvex Banach space X whose norm is Gateaux dierentiable and let {Tn} bea family of self-mappings on C such that the set of all common fixed pointsof {Tn} is nonempty. We construct a sequence {xn} generated by the hybridmethod and also we give the cond...

Let {Xn, n >= 1} be a strictly stationary sequence of negatively associated random variables, with common continuous and bounded distribution function F. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the two-dimensional distribution function of (X1,Xk+1) based on histogram type estimators as well as the estimation of the covariance function of the limit empirical process induced by the se...
