Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to a dark matter signal from the Galactic centre
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, A. Acharyya +449
We provide an updated assessment of the power of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to search for thermally produced dark matter at the TeV scale, via the associated gamma-ray sig…
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…
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…
Cross section measurements of Gd(n,) induced by thermal and epithermal neutrons
M. Mastromarco, A. Manna, O. Aberle +121
Neutron capture measurements on Gd and Gd were performed using the time-of-flight technique at the n\_TOF facility at CERN. Four samples in form of self-sustaining…
Experimental setup and procedure for the measurement of the 7Be(n,α)α reaction at n_TOF
L. Cosentino, A. Musumarra, M. Barbagallo +129
The newly built second experimental area EAR2 of the n_TOF spallation neutron source at CERN allows to perform (n, charged particles) experiments on short-lived highly radioactive…
