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…
A stop to field line misconceptions
Petar Žugec, Ivica Friščić, Mihael Makek +1
For two hundred years - ever since Faraday's first conception of the field lines - hearts and minds of students have been pervaded by erroneous and unsubstantiated claims about the…
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…
Machine learning based parametrization of the resolution function for the first experimental area (EAR1) of the n_TOF facility at CERN
Petar Žugec, Marta Sabate Gilarte, Michael Bacak +3
This study addresses a challenge of parametrizing a resolution function of the neutron beam from the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN. A difficulty stems from a fact t…
Lorentz contraction of electric field lines for a point charge in uniform motion
Petar Žugec, Davor HorvatiÄ, Ivica SmoliÄ
We examine a logical foundation of depicting a Lorentz contraction of a Coulomb field (an electric field of a point charge in uniform motion) by means of the 'Lorentz contracted' f…
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,…
