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…
First Nb() Measurement: Constraining the Nucleosynthetic Origin of Mo in Presolar Grains
J. Balibrea-Correa, J. Lerendegui-Marco, C. Domingo-Pardo +136
Isotopic measurements of presolar silicon carbide grains from dying stars have revealed a puzzling overabundance of Mo that stellar nucleosynthesis models have failed to rep…
Measurement of the cross-section at the CERN n\_TOF facility from subthermal energy to 120 keV
Marco Antonio MartÃnez-Cañadas, Pablo Torres-Sánchez, Javier Praena +130
Background: The reaction is of special interest in three different applications. First, in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy due to the presence of in b…
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…
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,…
A computer-vision aided Compton-imaging system for radioactive waste characterization and decommissioning of nuclear power plants
Victor Babiano-Suarez, Javier Balibrea-Correa, Ion Ladarescu +3
Nuclear energy production is inherently tied to the management and disposal of radioactive waste. Enhancing classification and monitoring tools is therefore crucial, with significa…
