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…
Rethinking Total Absorption Gamma Spectroscopy Deconvolution: Supervised Machine Learning vs Response-Matrix Methods
J. Balibrea-Correa, E. N{á}cher, C. Fonseca-Vargas +1
The extraction of -feeding distributions in Total Absorption -ray Spectroscopy constitutes a challenging inverse problem, particularly in nuclei with complex decay schemes…
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…
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…
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…
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…
