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…

Riptide: a proton-recoil track imaging detector for fast neutrons
C. Pisanti, A. Berardi, P. Console Camprini +9
Riptide is a detector concept aiming to track fast neutrons. It is based on neutron--proton elastic collisions inside a plastic scintillator, where the neutron momentum can be meas…

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…
