Abstract

Neutron induced fission cross sections of several isotopes have been measured at the CERN n_TOF spallation neutron facility. Between them some measurements involve isotopes (233U, 241Am, 243Am, 245Cm) relevant for applications to nuclear technologies. The n_TOF facility delivers neutrons with high instantaneous flux and in a wide energy range, from thermal up to 250 MeV. The experimental apparatus consists of an ionization chamber that discriminates fission fragments and α particles coming from natural radioactivity of the samples. All the measurements were performed referring to the standard cross section of 235U. European Commission Joint Research Centre European Community (EC) FIKW-CT-2000-00107

Abstract

Preliminary results of DSA lifetime measurements in the partner bands of 124Cs are presented. The 124Cs nucleus was produced in the 114Cd(14N,4n)124Cs reaction at the Heavy Ion Laboratory of the University of Warsaw. A phenomenon of spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in 124Cs nucleus is discussed. Appearance of a critical rotational frequency being the point of phase transition to time-reversal symmetry breaking configurations is suggested.

Abstract

The time‐resolved photoluminescence experiment has been used to examine temperature dependent dynamics in the quantum well‐quantum dots tunnel injection structures. The obtained pictures of the photoluminescence kinetics for the reference quantum dots and tunnel injection structures indicate a very different relaxation scenario influenced strongly by the temperature dependent phenomena. We point out the role of the phonon bath which affects the back tunneling and carriers escape processes from the quantum dots in the tunnel injection structures.

Abstract

Neutron‐induced fission cross‐sections of minor actinides have been measured at the white neutron source n_TOF at CERN, Geneva. The studied isotopes include 233U, interesting for Th/U based nuclear fuel cycles, 241,243Am and 245Cm, relevant for transmutation and waste reduction studies in new generation fast reactors (Gen‐IV) or Accelerator Driven Systems. The measurements take advantage of the unique features of the n_TOF facility, namely the wide energy range, the high instantaneous neutron flux and the low background. Results for the involved isotopes are reported from ∼30 meV to around 1 MeV neutron enegy. The measurements have been performed with a dedicated Fission Ionization Chamber (FIC), relative to the standard cross‐section of the 235U fission reaction, measured simultaneously with the same detector. Results are here reported.

Abstract

Nuclear astrophysics, advanced nuclear technology and nuclear structure physics present many cases that require neutron capture reaction data with high precision. In particular, refined data are needed for stellar nucleosynthesis, for nuclear waste transmutation studies, and for the design of generation IV reactors. The measurements take profit of the pulsed neutron beam of the n_TOF facility at CERN, which is generated by proton‐induced spallation reactions on a massive lead target. The low repetition rate of the proton beam, the high instantaneous neutron flux, and the favourable background conditions in the experimental area make this facility unique for high resolution time‐of‐flight measurements of neutron induced reaction cross sections. The n_TOF collaboration is presently operating two different experimental set‐ups. The first consists of two low‐neutron sensitivity C6D6 detectors with the analysis relying on the Pulse Height Weighting technique. In addition, a Total Absorption Calorimeter, consis...

Abstract

The neutron capture cross sections of 204Pb and 206Pb have been measured at the CERN n_TOF installation using the time of flight method with the pulse height weighting technique. In a preliminary analysis of 204Pb we have determined by first time the capture cross sections for two strong s‐wave resonances below 2.5 keV, which seem to enhance the Maxwellian Averaged Cross Section at kT = 5 keV by about a factor of two with respect to the value assumed so far. In 206Pb we have determined capture cross sections for a large number (97) of resonances, which were not reported in the two previous capture measurements. We discuss preliminary implications of the new cross sections in the stellar nucleosynthesis of the Pb isotopes.

Abstract

We measured the neutron capture cross section of 139La relative to 197Au in the energy range of 0.6 eV to 9 keV at n_TOF, the neutron time‐of‐flight facility at CERN. After a description of the experimental apparatus, we discuss data analysis procedures. The data were fitted using R‐matrix formalism to extract resonance parameters which, in turn, were used to calculate average level spacings D0 = 268 ± 22 eV and D1 < 250 eV, and neutron strength functions S0 = (0.79 ± 0.03)×10−4 and S1 = (0.73 ± 0.05)×10−4 for s‐ and p‐wave resonances. The data also were used to determine Maxwellian‐averaged neutron capture cross sections which, in turn, were used to calculate the 139La abundance synthesized in a stellar model of the main component of the s process.

Abstract

Accurate and reliable neutron capture cross section data for actinides are necessary for the proper design, safety regulation and precise performance assessment of transmutation devices such as Fast Critical Reactors or Accelerator Driven Systems. In particular, the neutron capture cross sections of 237Np, 240Pu and 243Am play a key role in the design and optimization of strategies for the Transmutation of Nuclear Waste. The listed cross sections have been measured in 2004 at n_TOF [1] with a high accuracy due to a combination of features unique in the world: high instantaneous neutron fluence and excellent energy resolution of the n_TOF facility, innovative Data Acquisition System based on flash ADCs and the use of a high performance BaF2 Total Absorption Calorimeter as a detection device.

Abstract

PACS; International audience; A series of measurements of 237Np fission cross section have been performed at the CERN spallation neutron facility n_TOF which covers a wide energy range from 1 eV up to 250 MeV. A fast ionization chamber (FIC) was used as a fission fragment detector with registration efficiency of not less than 97 %. Particular attention was paid to correct the fission cross section with use of 235U standard. Total experimental uncertainties are determined to be at the level of 3%. Analysis of the experimental data in the restricted neutron energy from 5 eV up to 1 MeV showed a systematic deviation from evaluated data (ENDF/B-VI). This discrepancy amounts to up to a factor 3 for resolved resonances in the neutron energy range of 5 eV - 2 KeV, and is in good agreement with some previous experiments. A similar disagreement at the level of 6-7% was found for higher energies around the threshold (En = 300 keV-1 MeV). This energy range is essential for the transmutation of neptunium in ADS or fast reactors. It is concluded that an updated evaluation of nuclear data for 237Np is required
