Design development and implementation of an irradiation station at the neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN
M. Ferrari, D. Senajova, O. Aberle +20
A new parasitic, mixed-field, neutron-dominated irradiation station has been recently commissioned at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). The station is installed…
Design of the third-generation lead-based neutron spallation target for the neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN
Raffaele Esposito, Marco Calviani, Oliver Aberle +20
The neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) facility at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) is a pulsed white-spectrum neutron spallation source producing neutrons for two e…
Imaging neutron capture cross sections: i-TED proof-of-concept and future prospects based on Machine-Learning techniques
V. Babiano-Suárez, J. Lerendegui-Marco, J. Balibrea-Correa +132
i-TED is an innovative detection system which exploits Compton imaging techniques to achieve a superior signal-to-background ratio in () cross-section measurements using time-…
A synchronization method for the multi-channel silicon telescope
P. Žugec, M. Barbagallo, J. Andrzejewski +6
A simple method is presented for the simultaneous off-line synchronization of the digitally recorded data-streams from a multi-channel silicon telescope. The method is based both o…
Review and new concepts for neutron-capture measurements of astrophysical interest
C. Domingo-Pardo, V. Babiano-Suarez, J. Balibrea-Correa +128
The idea of slow-neutron capture nucleosynthesis formulated in 1957 triggered a tremendous experimental effort in different laboratories worldwide to measure the relevant nuclear p…
Experimental setup and procedure for the measurement of the 7Be(n,p)7Li reaction at n_TOF
M. Barbagallo, J. Andrzejewski, M. Mastromarco +125
Following the completion of the second neutron beam line and the related experimental area (EAR2) at the n_TOF spallation neutron source at CERN, several experiments were planned a…
Experimental setup and procedure for the measurement of the 7Be(n,α)α reaction at n_TOF

Pulse processing routines for neutron time-of-flight data
P. Žugec, C. Weiß, C. Guerrero +11
A pulse shape analysis framework is described, which was developed for n_TOF-Phase3, the third phase in the operation of the n_TOF facility at CERN. The most notable feature of thi…
Silicon detectors for the n-TOF neutron beams monitoring
L. Cosentino, A. Musumarra, M. Barbagallo +5
During 2014 the second experimental area EAR2 was completed at the n-TOF neutron beam facility at CERN. As the neutrons are produced via spallation, by means of a high-intensity 20…
Characterization of the silicon+6LiF thermal neutron detection technique
A. Pappalardo, M. Barbagallo, L. Cosentino +6
The worldwide need to replace 3He for the neutron detection has triggered R&D on new technologies and methods. A promising one is based on commercial solid state silicon detectors…
GEANT4 simulation of the neutron background of the CD set-up for capture studies at n_TOF
TOF collaboration, P. Žugec, N. Colonna +104
The neutron sensitivity of the CD detector setup used at n_TOF for capture measurements has been studied by means of detailed GEANT4 simulations. A realistic software repli…
