Characterisation of the neutron beam in the n_TOF-EAR2 experimental area at CERN following the spallation target upgrade
J. A. Pavon-Rodriguez, J. Lerendegui-Marco, A. Manna +16
The n_TOF facility at CERN has undergone a major upgrade after the installation of a new spallation target, designed to improve the features of both neutron beamlines at the experi…
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,…

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…
Pushing the high count rate limits of scintillation detectors for challenging neutron-capture experiments
J. Balibrea Correa, J. Lerendegui-Marco, V. Babiano-Suarez +131
One of the critical aspects for the accurate determination of neutron capture cross sections when combining time-of-flight and total energy detector techniques is the characterizat…
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…
The CERN n TOF NEAR station for astrophysics- and application-related neutron activation measurements
N. Patronis, A. Mengoni, N. Colonna +130
A new experimental area, the NEAR station, has recently been built at the CERN n TOF facility, at a short distance from the spallation target (1.5 m). The new area, characterized b…
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…
