Measurement of the C(n,p) and C(n,d) reactions from n_TOF at CERN

P. Žugec, N. Colonna, D. Rochman +129

The energy dependence of the cross section of the (n,p) and (n,d) reactions on C has been studied for the first time at the n_TOF facility at CERN, from the particle d…

New insights on fission of U induced by high energy neutrons from a new measurement at CERN n\_TOF

Alice Manna, Elisa Pirovano, the n\_TOF Collaboration

The U(n,f) reaction cross section was measured relative to neutron-proton elastic scattering for the first time in the energy region from 10 MeV to 440 MeV at the CERN n\_T…

A detector system for 'absolute' measurements of fission cross sections at n_TOF in the energy range below 200 MeV

E. Pirovano, A. Manna, O. Aberle +14

A new measurement of the U(n,f) cross section was performed at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The experiment focused on neutron energies from 20 MeV to…

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 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…

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…

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*…

Experimental level densities of atomic nuclei

M. Guttormsen, M. Aiche, F. L. Bello Garrote +24

It is almost 80 years since Hans Bethe described the level density as a non-interacting gas of protons and neutrons. In all these years, experimental data were interpreted within t…

Scissors resonance in the quasi-continuum of Th, Pa and U isotopes

M. Guttormsen, L. A. Bernstein, A. Görgen +16

The gamma-ray strength function in the quasi-continuum has been measured for 231-233Th, 232,233Pa and 237-239U using the Oslo method. All eight nuclei show a pronounced increase in…

Constant-temperature level densities in the quasi-continuum of Th and U isotopes

M. Guttormsen, B. Jurado, J. N. Wilson +16

Particle-gamma coincidences have been measured to obtain gamma-ray spectra as a function of excitation energy for 231-233Th and 237-239U. The level densities, which were extracted…
