Design and commissioning of the miniBELEN neutron counter for the study of reactions
Nil Mont-Geli, Ariel Tarifeño-Saldivia, Max Pallàs +27
The miniBELEN detector is a moderated neutron counter based on the use of He tubes and high-density polyethylene as moderator. The detector has been designed to have a neutron…
Status of the HENSA collaboration at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory: results from two years of measurement of the neutron flux in hall B
N. Mont-Geli, A. Tarifeño-Saldivia, G. Cortés +29
Thiswork deals with the characterization of the neutron flux in hall B of the CanfrancUnderground Laboratory (LSC) employing the High Efficiency Neutron Spectrometry Array (HENSA).…
The Felsenkeller shallow-underground laboratory for nuclear astrophysics
Daniel Bemmerer, Axel Boeltzig, Marcel Grieger +12
In the Felsenkeller shallow-underground site, protected from cosmic muons by a 45 m thick rock overburden, a research laboratory including a 5 MV Pelletron ion accelerator and a nu…
Towards a new generation of solid total-energy detectors for neutron-capture time-of-flight experiments with intense neutron beams
J. Balibrea-Correa, V. Babiano-Suarez, J. Lerendegui-Marco +134
Challenging neutron-capture cross-section measurements of small cross sections and samples with a very limited number of atoms require high-flux time-of-flight facilities. In turn,…
Commissioning of miniBELEN-10A, a moderated neutron counter with a flat efficiency for thick-target neutron yields measurements
N Mont-Geli, A Tarifeño-Saldivia, L M Fraile +40
miniBELEN-10A is a modular and transportable moderated neutron counter with a nearly flat detection efficiency up to 8 MeV. The detector was designed to carry out measurements of (…
miniBELEN: a modular neutron counter for (alpha,n) reactions
N Mont-Geli, A Tarifeño-Saldivia, L M Fraile +38
miniBELEN is a modular and transportable neutron moderated counter with a nearly flat neutron detection efficiency up to 10 MeV. Modularity implies that the moderator can be reasse…
A novel modular neutron long counter for (α,n) reactions
N Mont-Geli, A Tarifeño-Saldivia, F Calviño +2
In this work, we present the design of a new modular and transportable neutron detector for (α,n) reactions. The detector is based on the use of several 3He-filled proportional cou…
Efficiency calibration of the BRIKEN detector: the world largest counter for beta-delayed neutrons
M. Pallas, A. Tarifeno-Saldivia, F. Calvino +7
Beta-delayed neutron emission plays a fundamental role in the explosive nucleosynthesis of elements heavier than iron by the rapid neutron capture (r-process). The most ambitious p…
Imaging neutron capture cross sections: i-TED proof-of-concept and future prospects based on Machine-Learning techniques
V. Babiano-Suárez, J. Lerendegui-Marco, J. Balibrea-Correa +132
i-TED is an innovative detection system which exploits Compton imaging techniques to achieve a superior signal-to-background ratio in () cross-section measurements using time-…
Review and new concepts for neutron-capture measurements of astrophysical interest
C. Domingo-Pardo, V. Babiano-Suarez, J. Balibrea-Correa +128
The idea of slow-neutron capture nucleosynthesis formulated in 1957 triggered a tremendous experimental effort in different laboratories worldwide to measure the relevant nuclear p…
Experimental setup and procedure for the measurement of the 7Be(n,p)7Li reaction at n_TOF
M. Barbagallo, J. Andrzejewski, M. Mastromarco +125
Following the completion of the second neutron beam line and the related experimental area (EAR2) at the n_TOF spallation neutron source at CERN, several experiments were planned a…
Conceptual design of the BRIKEN detector: A hybrid neutron-gamma detection system for nuclear physics at the RIB facility of RIKEN
