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

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.
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.
