Gamma Ray Counters to Monitor Radioactive Waste Packages in the MICADO Project
Luigi Cosentino, Martina Giuffrida, Sergio Lo Meo +4
One of the goals of the MICADO Euratom project is to monitor the gamma rays coming out of radioactive waste drums in storage sites on a medium/long term basis. For this purpose 36…
Measurement of the 235U(n,f) cross section relative to the 6Li(n,t) and 10B(n,alpha) standards from thermal to 170 keV neutron energy range at n_TOF
S. Amaducci, L. Cosentino, M. Barbagallo +118
The 235U(n,f) cross section was measured in a wide energy range at n_TOF relative to 6Li(n,t) and 10B(n,alpha), with high resolution and in a wide energy range, with a setup based…
On the (un)effectiveness of Proton Boron Capture in Proton Therapy
Annamaria Mazzone, Paolo Finocchiaro, Sergio Lo Meo +1
We present calculations and simulations on the role of the p+B3 reaction in proton therapy. This reaction has been recently suggested to be responsible for a decreas…
Integral measurement of the C(n,p)B reaction up to 10 GeV
P. Žugec, N. Colonna, D. Bosnar +102
The integral measurement of the C(n,p)B reaction was performed at the neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The total number of B nuclei produced per…
