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…
