Integral cross section measurement of the 12C(n,p)12B reaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The integral cross section of the 12C(n, p)12B reaction was measured at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN, from the reaction threshold at 13.6 MeV up to 10 GeV, by means of the combined activation and a time-offlight technique. The integral result is expressed as the number of 12B nuclei produced per single pulse of the neutron beam. A simple integral expression is given for calculating the number of produced 12B nuclei from any given evaluated cross section and/or model prediction.

Recent measurements of the 12 C + 12 C fusion cross section near the Gamow energy by γ - ray spectroscopy
Recently, the fusion cross sections of the reactions 12C(12C,α)20Ne and 12C(12C,p)23Na have been measured by γ-ray spectroscopy at energies as low as 2.10 MeV in the center of mass [10]. These measurements employed targets of ultra-low hydrogen contamination to suppress background which had hindered previous studies of the reactions. In this report the results are discussed relative to several ...
متن کاملIntegral measurement of the 12 C ( n , p ) 12 B reaction up to 10 GeV
The integral measurement of the C(n,p)B reaction was performed at the neutron time of flight facility n TOF at CERN. The total number of B nuclei produced per neutron pulse of the n TOF beam was determined using the activation technique in combination with a time of flight technique. The cross section is integrated over the n TOF neutron energy spectrum from reaction threshold at 13.6 MeV to 10...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrino Detection in Borexino
We calculated the expected neutrino signal in Borexino from a typical Type II supernova at a distance of 10 kpc. A burst of around 110 events would appear in Borexino within a time interval of about 10 s. Most of these events would come from the reaction channel ν̄e + p → e+ + n, while about 30 events would be induced by the interaction of the supernova neutrino flux on 12C in the liquid scintil...
متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH Proposal to the ISOLDE and Neutron Time-of-Flight Committee The (n,α) reaction cross section measurement for light isotopes
We propose to measure the (n,α) reaction cross section for a set of light isotopes (16O, 10B, 12C, 14N, 19F) at the Experimental Area 1 (EAR-1) of the n_TOF neutron time of flight facility at CERN using gaseous targets. This will be the first time of time of flight measurement of the excitation function for these isotopes. The best resolution for incoming neutron energy can be reached. This rea...
متن کاملCoupling and higher - order effects in the 12 C ( d , p ) 13 C and 13 C ( p , d ) 12 C reactions
Coupled-channel calculations are performed for the 12C(d,p)13C and 13C(p,d)12C reactions between 7 and 60 MeV to study the effect of inelastic couplings in transfer reactions. The effect of treating transfer beyond Born approximation is also addressed. The coupling to the 12C 2+ state is found to change the peak cross section by up to 15%. Effects beyond Born approximation lead to a significant...
