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…
Imaging neutrons with a position-sensitive monolithic CLYC detector
J. Lerendegui-Marco, G. Cisterna, J. Hallam +9
In this work, we have developed and characterized a position-sensitive CLYC detector that acts as the neutron imaging layer and -ray Compton scatterer of the novel dual \g-ray…
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…
First Pilot Tests of Compton Imaging and Boron Concentration Measurements in BNCT Using i-TED
J. Lerendegui-Marco, J. Balibrea-Correa, P. Ãlvarez-RodrÃguez +10
Dosimetry in BNCT poses significant challenges due to the indirect effect of neutrons interacting with elements within the body and uncertainties associated with the uptake of boro…
First experimental results and optimization study of the portable neutron-gamma imager GN-Vision
Jorge Lerendegui-Marco, James Hallam, Gastón Cisterna +9
GN-Vision is a compact, dual-modality imaging device designed to simultaneously localize the spatial origin of -ray and slow neutron sources, with potential applications in nuc…
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,…
