Improved Mo neutron resonance parameters from neutron capture and transmission measurements at n_TOF and GELINA
R. Mucciola, S. Cristallo, S. Kopecky +140
We report high-resolution measurements of the cross section in the neutron energy range from a few eV up to about 250 keV, performe…
Direct Neutron Reactions in Storage Rings Utilizing a Supercompact Cyclotron Neutron Target
Ariel Tarifeño-Saldivia, César Domingo-Pardo, Iris Dillmann +1
We propose a new approach for a high-density free-neutron target, primarily aimed at nuclear astrophysics reaction studies in inverse kinematics with radioactive ions circulating i…
Direct Experiments of Neutron Capture on Stable and Unstable Isotopes for Stellar Nucleosynthesis Studies
Jorge Lerendegui-Marco, Javier Balibrea-Correa, Victor Babiano-Suárez +7
Neutron-capture reactions provide essential nuclear-physics input for modeling the synthesis of heavy elements in stars. The growing precision of stellar spectroscopy and isotopic…
Radiative neutron capture cross section of Pu measured at n_TOF-EAR1 in the unresolved resonance region up to 600 keV
J. Lerendegui-Marco, C. Guerrero, E. Mendoza +133
Accurate neutron capture cross sections are essential for the design and operation of fast reactors using MOX fuels. For Pu, the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) recommends 8--1…
Measurement of the ambient neutron flux and spectral distribution at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
S. E. A. Orrigo, J. L. Tain, N. Mont-Geli +13
We report on the measurement of the ambient neutron flux and its energy distribution over a broad range of neutron energies, conducted in Hall A of the Canfranc Underground Laborat…
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…
