beta-decay study of Cu-77
N. Patronis, H. De Witte, M. Gorska +21
A beta-decay study of Cu-77 has been performed at the ISOLDE mass separator with the aim to deduce its beta-decay properties and to obtain spectroscopic information on Zn-77. Neutr…
Experimental set-up for the simultaneous measurement of fission and gamma-emission probabilities induced by transfer or inelastic-scattering reactions
R. Pérez Sánchez, B. Jurado, P. Marini +9
Fission and gamma-emission probabilities induced by transfer or inelastic scattering reactions with light projectile nuclei are very valuable quantities for constraining the models…
The Thorium Molten Salt Reactor : Moving on from the MSBR
L. Mathieu, D. Heuer, R. Brissot +11
A re-evaluation of the Molten Salt Breeder Reactor concept has revealed problems related to its safety and to the complexity of the reprocessing considered. A reflection is carried…
Study of the 238U(d,p) surrogate reaction via the simultaneous measurement of gamma-decay and fission probabilities
Q. Ducasse, B. Jurado, M. Aïche +26
We investigated the 238U(d,p) reaction as a surrogate for the n + 238U reaction. For this purpose we measured for the first time the gamma-decay and fission probabilities of 239U*…
Simultaneous determination of neutron-induced fission and radiative-capture cross sections from decay probabilities obtained with a surrogate reaction
R. Perez Sanchez, B. Jurado, V. Meot +20
Reliable neutron-induced reaction cross sections of unstable nuclei are essential for nuclear astrophysics and applications but their direct measurement is often impossible. The su…
Application of the EXtrapolated Efficiency Method (EXEM) to infer the gamma-cascade detection efficiency in the actinide region
Q. Ducasse, B. Jurado, L. Mathieu +4
The study of transfer-induced gamma-decay probabilities is very useful for understanding the surrogate-reaction method and, more generally, for constraining statistical-model calcu…
A new gas-based proton-recoil telescope for quasi-absolute neutron flux measurements between 0.2 and 2 MeV neutron energy
P. Marini, L. Mathieu, M. Aïche +9
Absolute measurements of neutron flux are an essential prerequisite of neutron-induced cross section measurements, neutron beam lines characterization and dosimetric investigations…
First investigation of the response of solar cells to heavy ions above 1 AMeV
A. Henriques, B. Jurado, J. Pibernat +16
Solar cells have been used since several decades for the detection of fission fragments at about 1 AMeV. The advantages of solar cells regarding their cost (few euros) and radiatio…
