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…
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 ambient neutron flux and spectral distribution at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
S. E. A. Orrigo, J. L. Tain, N. Mont-Geli +13
We report on the measurement of the ambient neutron flux and its energy distribution over a broad range of neutron energies, conducted in Hall A of the Canfranc Underground Laborat…
Design and commissioning of the miniBELEN neutron counter for the study of reactions
Nil Mont-Geli, Ariel Tarifeño-Saldivia, Max Pallàs +27
The miniBELEN detector is a moderated neutron counter based on the use of He tubes and high-density polyethylene as moderator. The detector has been designed to have a neutron…
Status of the HENSA collaboration at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory: results from two years of measurement of the neutron flux in hall B
N. Mont-Geli, A. Tarifeño-Saldivia, G. Cortés +29
Thiswork deals with the characterization of the neutron flux in hall B of the CanfrancUnderground Laboratory (LSC) employing the High Efficiency Neutron Spectrometry Array (HENSA).…
Measurement of the cross-section at the CERN n\_TOF facility from subthermal energy to 120 keV
Marco Antonio MartÃnez-Cañadas, Pablo Torres-Sánchez, Javier Praena +130
Background: The reaction is of special interest in three different applications. First, in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy due to the presence of in b…
