Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

7Be(n, p)7Li Reaction and the Cosmological Lithium Problem: Measurement of the Cross Section in a Wide Energy Range at n_TOF at CERN

Mario Barbagallo, +133 more
TL;DR: The energy-dependent cross section of the ^{7}Be(n,α)^{4}He reaction, of interest for the so-called cosmological lithium problem in big bang nucleosynthesis, has been measured for the first time from 10 meV to 10 keV neutron energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The new vertical neutron beam line at the CERN n_TOF facility design and outlook on the performance

C. Weiß, +136 more
TL;DR: The design of the beam line and the experimental hall was based on FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations, aiming at maximizing the neutron flux, reducing the beam halo and minimizing the background from neutrons interacting with the collimator or backscattered in the beam dump as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-accuracy determination of the neutron flux at n_TOF

Mario Barbagallo, +115 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the neutron flux of the n_TOF facility at CERN, after installation of the new spallation target, with four different systems based on three neutron-converting reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

arXiv : The $^{7}$Be($\boldsymbol{n,p}$)$^{7}$Li reaction and the Cosmological Lithium Problem: measurement of the cross section in a wide energy range at n\_TOF (CERN)

L. A. Damone, +157 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the measurement of the cross-section of the lithium ion reaction from thermal to approximately 325 keV neutron energy, performed in the high-flux experimental area (EAR2) of the n\_TOF facility at CERN.
