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…
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 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…
Measurement of the Ar(e,e) elastic scattering cross section with a novel gas-jet target
M. Littich, L. Doria, P. Brand +35
We report on a measurement of elastic electron scattering on argon performed with a novel cryogenic gas-jet target at the Mainz Microtron accelerator MAMI. The luminosity is estima…
Neutron capture measurements for s-process nucleosynthesis; A review about CERN n_TOF developments and contributions
C. Domingo-Pardo, O. Aberle, V. Alcayne +143
This article presents a review about the main CERN n\_TOF contributions to the field of neutron-capture experiments of interest for -process nucleosynthesis studies over the las…
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,…
