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,…
A computer-vision aided Compton-imaging system for radioactive waste characterization and decommissioning of nuclear power plants
Victor Babiano-Suarez, Javier Balibrea-Correa, Ion Ladarescu +3
Nuclear energy production is inherently tied to the management and disposal of radioactive waste. Enhancing classification and monitoring tools is therefore crucial, with significa…
Towards Real Time Compton Imaging in Demanding Conditions
Bernardo Gameiro, Jorge Lerendegui-Marco, Victor Babiano-Suarez +5
Compton cameras are radiation detectors that provide spatial information on the origin of the γ-ray sources based on the Compton scattering effect. Many applications require these…
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 a…
A Segmented Total Energy Detector (sTED) optimized for cross-section measurements at n_TOF EAR2
V. Alcayne, D. Cano-Ott, J. Garcia +12
The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN is a spallation source dedicated to measurements of neutron-induced reaction cross-sections of interest in nuclear technologies, a…
Commissioning of miniBELEN-10A, a moderated neutron counter with a flat efficiency for thick-target neutron yields measurements
N Mont-Geli, A Tarifeño-Saldivia, L M Fraile +40
miniBELEN-10A is a modular and transportable moderated neutron counter with a nearly flat detection efficiency up to 8 MeV. The detector was designed to carry out measurements of (…
miniBELEN: a modular neutron counter for (alpha,n) reactions
N Mont-Geli, A Tarifeño-Saldivia, L M Fraile +38
miniBELEN is a modular and transportable neutron moderated counter with a nearly flat neutron detection efficiency up to 10 MeV. Modularity implies that the moderator can be reasse…
Simultaneous Gamma-Neutron Vision device: a portable and versatile tool for nuclear inspections
J. Lerendegui Marco, V. Babiano-Suárez, J. Balibrea-Correa +4
GN-Vision is a novel dual -ray and neutron imaging system, which aims at simultaneously obtaining information about the spatial origin of -ray and neutron sources. The propos…
Imaging neutron capture cross sections: i-TED proof-of-concept and future prospects based on Machine-Learning techniques

i-TED is an innovative detection system which exploits Compton imaging techniques to achieve a superior signal-to-background ratio in () cross-section measurements using time-…
Machine Learning aided 3D-position reconstruction in large LaCl crystals
J. Balibrea-Correa, J. Lerendegui-Marco, V. Babiano +5
We investigate five different models to reconstruct the 3D -ray hit coordinates in five large \lacls monolithic crystals optically coupled to pixelated silicon photomultipliers.…
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…
