Performance of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN

Carlos Guerrero, +116 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the characteristics of the new neutron beam in the currently available configurations, which correspond to two different collimation systems and two choices of neutron moderator, including the intensity and energy dependence of the neutron flux, the spatial profile of the beam, the in-beam background components and the energy resolution/broadening.

Neutron-driven element transmuter

TL;DR: In this article, a material is exposed to a neutron flux by distributing it in a neutron-diffusing medium surrounding a neutron source, and the diffusing medium is transparent to neutrons and so arranged that neutron scattering substantially enhances the neutron flux to which the material was exposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

New experimental validation of the pulse height weighting technique for capture cross-section measurements

U. Abbondanno, +134 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy of the pulse height weighting technique for the determination of neutron capture cross-sections is investigated and several causes of systematic deviation are identified and their effect is quantified.
Journal ArticleDOI

The n_TOF Total Absorption Calorimeter for neutron capture measurements at CERN

Carlos Guerrero, +117 more
TL;DR: The Total Absorption Calorimeter (TAC) as discussed by the authors was designed for measuring neutron capture cross-sections of low-mass and/or radioactive samples with the accuracy required for nuclear technology and stellar nucleosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The data acquisition system of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN

U. Abbondanno, +110 more
TL;DR: A scalable and versatile data solution has been designed based on 8-bit flash-ADCs with sampling rates up to 2 GHz and 8 Mbyte memory buffer for high accuracy measurement of neutron capture, fission and (n, xn) cross-sections at CERN.
