Abstract: A novel approach and algorithm have been developed to rapidly detect and localize both moving and static radiological/nuclear (R/N) sources from an airborne platform. Current aerial systems with radiological sensors are limited in their ability to compensate for variable naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM) background. The proposed approach suppresses the effects of NORM background by incorporating additional information to segment the survey area into regions over which the background is likely to be uniform. The method produces pixelated Source Activity Maps (SAMs) of both target and background radionuclide activity over the survey area. The task of producing the SAMs requires (1) the development of a forward model which describes the transformation of radionuclide activity to detector measurements and (2) the solution of the associated inverse problem. The inverse problem is ill-posed as there are typically fewer measurements than unknowns. In addition the measurements are subject to Poisson statistical noise. The Maximum-Likelihood Expectation-Maximization (MLEM) algorithm is used to solve the inverse problem as it is well suited for under-determined problems corrupted by Poisson noise. A priori terrain information is incorporated to segment the reconstruction space into regions within which we constrain NORM background activity to be uniform. Descriptions of the algorithm and examples of performance with and without segmentation on simulated data are presented.

Abstract: The neutron-induced fission cross section of Np237 was experimentally determined at the high-resolution and high-intensity facility n-TOF, at CERN, in the energy range 100 keV to 9 MeV, using the U235(n,f) and U238(n,f) cross section standards below and above 2 MeV, respectively. A fast ionization chamber was used in order to detect the fission fragments from the reactions and the targets were characterized as far as their mass and homogeneity are concerned by means of α spectroscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy respectively. Theoretical calculations within the Hauser-Feshbach formalism have been performed, employing the empire code, and the model parameters were tuned in order to successfully reproduce the experimental fission cross-sectional data and simultaneously all the competing reaction channels.

Abstract: The CERN Neutron Time-Of-Flight (n-TOF) facility is well suited to measure small neutron-induced fission cross sections, as those of subactinides. The cross section ratios of {sup nat}Pb and {sup 209}Bi relative to {sup 235}U and {sup 238}U were measured using PPAC detectors. The fragment coincidence method allows to unambiguously identify the fission events. The present experiment provides the first results for neutron-induced fission up to 1 GeV for {sup nat}Pb and {sup 209}Bi. A good agreement with previous experimental data below 200 MeV is shown. The comparison with proton-induced fission indicates that the limiting regime where neutron-induced and proton-induced fission reach equal cross section is close to 1 GeV.

Abstract: The beta-decay of Re-187 (t(1/2) = 42.3 Gyr) represents a suited cosmo-chronometer for the age of the r-process abundances, since the radiogenic part of the daughter isotope (OS)-O-187 is defined by the difference between the solar Os-187 abundance and s-process contribution to Os-187. The latter component can be determined via the s-process systematics based on the stellar neutron capture cross sections of Os-186 and Os-187. The laboratory cross section of Os-187 requires a significant correction for the effect of the low-lying excited state at 9.75 keV, which is strongly populated under stellar conditions. This theoretical correction can be improved by an experimental cross section for inelastic scattering to the 9.75 keV state. High resolution time-of-flight measurements of (n, gamma) cross sections of (OS)-O-186,187,188 from I eV to I MeV at CERN n-TOF facility are reported. The inferred stellar cross sections differ from previously recommended values. In addition, the inelastic scattering cross section has been measured at 30 keV neutron energy via time-of-flight at the Karlsruhe 3.7 MV Van de Graaff. The implications of these results for the Re/Os clock are discussed. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

6. Determination of the 233Pa(n, γ) capture cross section up to neutron energies of 1 MeV using the transfer reaction 232Th(3He, p)234Pa∗

Abstract: The γ -ray emission probability distribution of 234 Pa ∗ has been measured between 5.2 and 6.2 MeV excitation energy using the transfer reaction 232 Th( 3 He, p) 234 Pa ∗ at an incident 3 He energy of 24 MeV. The experimental set-up is made of four liquid scintillator C 6 D 6 detectors and four Si telescopes arranged to detect γ rays and charged particles in coincidence. In order to determine the total number of γ -ray cascades in a given nucleus, the raw experimental detected gamma-ray events have to be corrected by the weighting function technique. This weighting requires complete knowledge of the efficiency and response functions for the C 6 D 6 detector set-up and surroundings. These have been determined experimentally using gamma-ray sources, inelastic scattering reactions and transfer reactions on light nuclei. Simulations which reproduce successfully the detector response and efficiency are presented. From these measurements, the (n, γ ) capture cross section of 233 Pa, in the neutron energy range 0 to 1 MeV, has been deduced via the product of the measured γ emission probability of 234 Pa ∗ with the calculated compound nucleus formation cross section of the reaction 233 Pa + n. A comparison between existing data bases or recent predictions and the present results is also made.

Abstract: The Laboratory for Micro- and Nanotechnology provides the essential technologies necessary for the design and fabrication of diffractive x-ray optics for a wide range of applications. Over the past years, a large variety of optics has been fabricated and tested in collaboration with a large number of partners To ensure good performance of the devices, they have to be tailored to the specific needs of a specific x-ray optical experiment in terms of photon energy and spatial coherence of the source, as well as required spatial resolution, working distance and diffraction efficiency. We report on a selection of such developments including transmission Fresnel phase zone plates for microscopy or microprobe applications at photon energies ranging from the EUV to the multi-keV region. For photon energies beyond 10 key transmission zone plates are very rarely used. Our recent development of linear optics with ultra high aspect ratio structures has opened up a way to extend the applications of diffractive optics at least to the 30 keV range. Besides focusing elements, other diffractive optics such as decoherers or beam splitters for interferometric applications are presented.

Abstract: 7th International Topical Meeting on Industrial Radiation and Radioisotope Measurement Application. Czech Tech univ, Prague, CZECH REPUBLIC. JUN 22-27, 2008, In 2002, an innovative neutron time-of-flight facility started operation at CERN: n_TOF. The main characteristics that make the new facility unique are the high instantaneous neutron flux, high resolution and wide energy range. Combined with state-of-the-art detectors and data acquisition system, these features have allowed to collect high accuracy neutron cross-section data on a variety of isotopes, many of which radioactive, of interest for Nuclear Astrophysics and for applications to advanced reactor technologies. A review of the most important results on capture and fission reactions obtained so far at n_TOF is presented, together with plans for new measurements related to nuclear industry.

Abstract: Background: The design of new nuclear reactors and transmutation devices requires to reduce the present neutron cross section uncertainties of minor actinides. Purpose: Improvement of the 243Am(n,? ) cross section uncertainty. Method: The 243Am(n,? ) cross section has been measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN with a BaF2 total absorption calorimeter, in the energy range between 0.7 eV and 2.5 keV. Results: The 243Am(n,? ) cross section has been successfully measured in the mentioned energy range. The resolved resonance region has been extended from 250 eV up to 400 eV. In the unresolved resonance region our results are compatible with one of the two incompatible capture data sets available below 2.5 keV. The data available in EXFOR and in the literature have been used to perform a simple analysis above 2.5 keV. Conclusions: The results of this measurement contribute to reduce the 243Am(n,? ) cross section uncertainty and suggest that this cross section is underestimated up to 25% in the neutron energy range between 50 eV and a few keV in the present evaluated data libraries.

Abstract: The neutron-induced fission cross section of U234 has been measured at the CERN n-TOF facility relative to the standard fission cross section of U235 from 20 keV to 1.4 MeV and of U238 from 1.4 to 200 MeV. A fast ionization chamber (FIC) was used as a fission fragment detector with a detection efficiency of no less than 97%. The high instantaneous flux and the low background characterizing the n-TOF facility resulted in wide-energy-range data (0.02 to 200 MeV), with high energy resolution, high statistics, and systematic uncertainties bellow 3%. Previous investigations around the energy of the fission threshold revealed structures attributed to β-vibrational levels, which have been confirmed by the present measurements. Theoretical calculations have been performed, employing the talys code with model parameters tuned to fairly reproduce the experimental data. © 2014 American Physical Society.

Abstract: We present the analysis of the resolved resonance region for the 234U(n,f) cross section data measured at the CERN n TOF facility. The resonance parameters in the energy range from 1 eV to 1500 eV have been obtained with the SAMMY code by using as initial parameters for the fit the resonance parameters of the JENDL-3.3 evaluation. In addition, the statistical analysis has been accomplished, partly with the SAMDIST code, in order to study the level spacing and the Mehta-Dyson correlation.

Abstract: A high statistics experiment performed on Gd nuclei with the use of the EUROGAM II array resulted in the discovery of twelve new superdeformed (SD) bands. Three of them have been assigned to ${}^{148}\mathrm{Gd}$ and seven to ${}^{149}\mathrm{Gd}$ giving a total of thirteen SD bands now known in this last nucleus. The close relationship in transition energies between these bands and those in neighboring nuclei has been used to suggest configurations. Most of the new bands exhibit more or less pronounced irregularities in their dynamical moments of inertia with consequences on their identities with other bands.

Abstract: High spin states in 79Rb and 81Sr were populated through the bombardment of a 58Ni target with a 30Si beam at 134 MeV. Gamma rays depopulating the excited states were detected using the EUROGAM phase-2 array. A band of nine transitions has been observed in 81Sr decaying to the α = −12 sequence built on the [303]52− Nilsson orbit. The decay schemes of several bands in both 79Rb and 81Sr have been extended to higher spin with angular correlation measurements providing firm spin assignments for a number of states. A fork is observed in 79Rb after a band crossing at hω ⋍ 0.72 MeV in the α = +12 sequence built on the [312]32− Nilsson orbit. A previously observed cascade of three γ-rays in 79Rb has been extended by the addition of ten transitions up to 16 MeV. This has been assigned as a positive parity band built on the [440]12+ Nilsson orbit.

Abstract: The EUROGAM Phase 2 array has been used to detect γ rays following the reaction of 30Si on 58Ni at 134 MeV. Two rotational cascades exhibiting characteristic superdeformed behaviour have been observed in 82Sr. Cranked Woods-Saxon calculations have been performed and these suggest that both bands have the ν52π51 intrinsic intruder configuration and that they differ in the signature component of the [431] 1 2 proton orbital which is occupied.

Abstract: The Eurogam I gamma -ray array has been used to search for the linking transitions between the superdeformed (SD) and normal deformed states in 152Dy. Triple gamma -ray coincidence data were analysed by employing the technique of summation of discrete gamma -rays observed in coincidence with the transitions in the lowest energy (yrast) SD band in 152Dy. Several high energy peaks have been observed in the spectrum of the summed gamma -rays and these are consistent with decay paths between the two structures. Analysis of these data and of single gamma -ray spectra confirm that the decay is highly fragmented and that decays occur through a quasi-continuum of states between the SD and normal deformed minima.

Abstract: Six rotational bands built on superdeformed intrinsic configurations have been observed in the 149 Gd nucleus with the Eurogam spectrometer. Orbital configuration assignments have been suggested on the basis of their effective alignments calculated with the Nilsson-Strutinsky cranking model. Most of the excited bands have identical partners in neighboring nuclei including one case differing by four mass units. Measurements of feeding patterns indicate that the 149 Gd yrast superdeformed band is fed over a wider range of angular momentum than other yrast superdeformed bands in this mass region whereas weaker excited bands in the same nucleus are populated in narrower spin windows.

Abstract: We have measured the neutron capture cross sections of the stable magnesium isotopes 24,25,26Mg in the energy range of interest to the s process using the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. Capture events from a natural metal sample and from samples enriched in 25Mg and 26Mg were recorded using the total energy method based on C6 2H6 detectors. Neutron resonance parameters were extracted by a simultaneous resonance shape analysis of the present capture data and existing transmission data on a natural isotopic sample. Maxwellian-averaged capture cross sections for the three isotopes were calculated up to thermal energies of 100 keV and their impact on s-process analyses was investigated. At 30 keV the new values of the stellar cross section for 24Mg, 25Mg, and 26Mg are 3.8±0.2 mb, 4.1±0.6 mb, and 0.14±0.01 mb, respectively.

Abstract: The neutron-induced fission cross section of 245Cm was measured at n-TOF in a wide energy range and with high resolution. The energy dependence, measured in a single measurement from 30 meV to 1 MeV neutron energy, has been determined with 5% accuracy relative to the 235U(n,f) cross section. In order to reduce the uncertainty on the absolute value, the data have been normalized at thermal energy to recent measurements performed at ILL and BR1. In the energy range of overlap, the results are in fair agreement with some previous measurements and confirm, on average, the evaluated cross section in the ENDF/B-VII.0 database, although sizable differences are observed for some important resonances below 20 eV. A similar behavior is observed relative to JENDL/AC-2008, a reactor-oriented database for actinides. The new results contribute to the overall improvement of the databases needed for the design of advanced reactor systems and may lead to refinements of fission models for the actinides.

Abstract: The neutron capture cross section of 237Np was measured between 0.7 and 500 eV at the CERN n-TOF facility using the 4π BaF2 Total Absorption Calorimeter. The experimental capture yield was extracted minimizing all the systematic uncertainties and was analyzed together with the most reliable transmission data available using the sammy code. The result is a complete set of individual as well as average resonance parameters [D0=0.56(2) eV, Γγ=40.9(18) meV, 104S0=0.98(6), R ′=9.8(6) fm]. The capture cross section obtained in this work is in overall agreement with the evaluations and the data of Weston and Todd, thus showing sizable differences with respect to previous data from Scherbakov and large discrepancies with data Kobayashi. The results indicate that a new evaluation combining the present capture data with reliable transmission data would allow reaching an accuracy better than 4%, in line with the uncertainty requirements of the nuclear data community for the design and operation of current and future nuclear devices.

Abstract: The existing evaluations of the ${}^{243}$Am neutron-induced fission cross section have been questioned by recent measurements performed at the GNEISS facility. In the neutron energy range from 1 to 6 MeV, the GNEISS data present deviations of more than 15$%$ with respect to the evaluations. In order to solve this problem, we have measured this cross section in reference to three different standard cross sections. The first standard reaction used corresponds to the neutron on proton elastic scattering cross section, which is known with a precision better than 0.5$%$ over a wide neutron-energy range of 1 meV to 20 MeV. The other two experiments were conducted in reference to the ${}^{235}$U(n, f) and ${}^{238}$U(n, f) reactions. The comparison between these three standard reactions ensures that systematic parameters have been correctly evaluated. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis of parameters and correlations of parameters is described and a complete variance-covariance matrix of the measurements is presented and discussed.

28. Excited bands in the doubly-magic superdeformed 152Dy nucleus: evidence for the first N = 7 proton hyper-intruder orbital

Abstract: Five excited superdeformed bands have been observed in the doubly closed-shell superdeformed nucleus 152 Dy. Three of the new bands are interpreted in terms of single neutron excitations across the N = 86 shell gap. One of these bands appears to partly decay into the yrast superdeformed band. Another band involves a single proton excitation across the Z = 66 shell gap into the N = 7 hyper-intruder orbital. This is the first evidence of the influence of this deformation driving orbital on superdeformed structures in any mass region.

Abstract: An excited superdeformed (SD) band in 150 Gd is associated with a two-particle-two-hole proton excitation and provides the first evidence for collective proton pair excitations in a SD nucleus. This band is seen to exhibit a discontinuity in the γ-ray transition energies (backbending), which is interpreted as a band crossing associated with the alignment of a pair of N=6 protons. There is further evidence that this excited SD band decays into the yrast SD band.

Abstract: Based on data obtained with the Eurogam spectrometer, a systematic investigation of superdeformed bands built on single neutron excitations across the N = 86 shell gap has been carried out for gadolinium, terbium, and dysprosium isotopes with 85 ≤ N ≤ 87. In each nucleus, pairs of bands corresponding to degenerate signature partners have been observed. The effective alignment is constant and close to zero for many of the bands, in agreement with cranked shell model calculations for the [402]5/2 and [514]9/2 orbitals. Several bands exhibit non-zero alignments, indicating in some cases the influence of pairing correlations even at high spin and in other cases the occupancy of the [521]3/2 orbital.

Abstract: The (n,γ) cross section of 96Zr has been investigated at the CERN n-TOF spallation neutron source. High-resolution time-of-flight measurements using an enriched ZrO2 sample allowed us to analyze 15 resonances below 40 keV with improved accuracy. On average, the capture widths were found to be 25% smaller than reported in earlier experiments. If complemented with the contribution by direct radiative capture, the derived Maxwellian averaged cross sections are consistent with activation data at kT=25 keV. The present results confirm the astrophysical implications for the s-process branching at 95Zr. © 2011 American Physical Society.

Abstract: The neutron-induced fission cross section of {sup 236}U was measured at the neutron Time-of-Flight (n-TOF) facility at CERN relative to the standard {sup 235}U(n,f) cross section for neutron energies ranging from above thermal to several MeV. The measurement, covering the full range simultaneously, was performed with a fast ionization chamber, taking advantage of the high resolution of the n-TOF spectrometer. The n-TOF results confirm that the first resonance at 5.45 eV is largely overestimated in some nuclear data libraries. The resonance triplet around 1.2 keV was measured with high resolution and resonance parameters were determined with good accuracy. Resonances at high energy have also been observed and characterized and different values for the cross section are provided for the region between 10 keV and the fission threshold. The present work indicates various shortcomings of the current nuclear data libraries in the subthreshold region and provides the basis for an accurate re-evaluation of the {sup 236}U(n,f) cross section, which is of great relevance for the development of emerging or innovative nuclear reactor technologies.

Abstract: The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes play an important role in nucleosynthesis studies. The s-process reaction flow between the Fe seed and the heavier isotopes passes through the neutron magic nucleus {sup 90}Zr and through {sup 91,92,93,94}Zr, but only part of the flow extends to {sup 96}Zr because of the branching point at {sup 95}Zr. Apart from their effect on the s-process flow, the comparably small isotopic (n,{gamma}) cross sections make Zr also an interesting structural material for nuclear reactors. The {sup 94}Zr (n,{gamma}) cross section has been measured with high resolution at the spallation neutron source n{sub T}OF at CERN and resonance parameters are reported up to 60 keV neutron energy.

Abstract: Neutron-induced fission cross sections for {sup nat}Pb and {sup 209}Bi were measured with a white-spectrum neutron source at the CERN Neutron Time-of-Flight (n{sub T}OF) facility. The experiment, using neutrons from threshold up to 1 GeV, provides the first results for these nuclei above 200 MeV. The cross sections were measured relative to {sup 235}U and {sup 238}U in a dedicated fission chamber with parallel plate avalanche counter detectors. Results are compared with previous experimental data. Upgraded parametrizations of the cross sections are presented, from threshold energy up to 1 GeV. The proposed new sets of fitting parameters improve former results along the whole energy range.

Abstract: The cross section of the reaction {sup 197}Au(n,{gamma}) was measured with the time-of-flight technique at the n{_}TOF (neutron time-of-flight) facility in the unresolved resonance region between 5 and 400 keV using a pair of C{sub 6}D{sub 6} (where D denotes {sup 2}H) liquid scintillators for the detection of prompt capture {gamma} rays. The results with a total uncertainty of 3.9%-6.7% for a resolution of 20 bins per energy decade show fair agreement with the Evaluated Nuclear Data File Version B-VII.0 (ENDF/B-VII.0), which contains the standard evaluation. The Maxwellian-averaged cross section (MACS) at 30 keV is in excellent agreement with the one according to the ENDF/B-VII.0 evaluation and 4.7% higher than the MACS measured independently by activation technique. Structures in the cross section, which had also been reported earlier, have been interpreted as being due to clusters of resonances.

Abstract: The neutron-induced fission cross-section of 233U has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility relative to the standard fission cross-section of 235U between 0.5 and 20MeV. The experiment was performed with a fast ionization chamber for the detection of the fission fragments and to discriminate against $ \alpha$ -particles from the natural radioactivity of the samples. The high instantaneous flux and the low background of the n_TOF facility result in data with uncertainties of $ \approx$ 3% , which were found in good agreement with previous experiments. The high quality of the present results allows to improve the evaluation of the 233U (n,f) cross-section and, consequently, the design of energy systems based on the Th/U cycle.

Abstract: The decay from excited levels in medium and heavy nuclei can be described in a statistical approach by means of Photon Strength Functions and Level Density distributions. The study of electromagnetic cascades following neutron capture based on the use of high e ciency detectors has been shown to be well suited for probing the properties of the Photon Strength Function of heavy (high level density) and/or radioactive (high background) nuclei. In this work we have investigated for the rst time the validity of the recommended PSF of actinides, in particular 235U, 238Np and 241Pu. Our study includes the search for resonance structures in the PSF below Sn and draws conclusions regarding their existence and their characteristics in terms of energy, width and electromagnetic nature.

Abstract: The moment of inertia of the yrast superdeformed band in [sup 149]Gd exhibits an unexpected bifurcation at high rotational frequency. States differing by four units of angular momentum show an energy shift of about 60 eV. This indicates the remnant of a new quantum number associated with the fourfold rotational symmetry.

Abstract: Relative intensities of the yrast and the first excited superdeformed bands in $^{151}\mathrm{Tb}$ have been accurately measured, with the EUROGAM spectrometer. It is shown that he excited band depopulates at the same freqeuncy and spin as its identical band in the isotone $^{152}\mathrm{Dy}$ whereas the yrast band deexcites at higher rotational frequency and spin even though it is much lower in excitation energy. A classification of superdeformed bands in the A\ensuremath{\sim}150 mass region indicates that the decay-out mechanism is strongly affected by neutron pairing correlations and the occupancy of high-N intruder orbitals.

Abstract: We have used the 8π γ-ray spectrometer at the Chalk River TASCC facility to study superdeformed rotational bands in the chain of isotopes 145–149 Gd. The five bands already known have been extended to higher spin, while four new excited bands have been discovered. The use of very similar reactions, data-acquisition parameters and data-analysis techniques, combined with the enlarged set of data, has allowed us for the first time to approach the topic of superdeformation in the A = 150 mass region from a comprehensive point of view. Transition energies of neighbouring nuclei were compared to extract effective aligned spins of the added particle. Such a comparison requires knowledge of relative nuclear spins, which we have to assume. Nevertheless, we find that a very illustrative picture emerges making it possible to understand all nine bands in the Gd isotopes within a very simple scheme of orbital assignments.

Abstract: Fusion cross sections have been measured for the system $^{16}\mathrm{O}$${+}^{144}$Nd at bombarding energies in the range 67 MeV\ensuremath{\le}${\mathit{E}}_{\mathrm{lab}}$\ensuremath{\le}90 MeV by detecting directly evaporation residues in Si detectors and in the range 60 MeV\ensuremath{\le}${\mathit{E}}_{\mathrm{lab}}$\ensuremath{\le}75 MeV by off-line detection of the K x rays emitted by the radioactive evaporation residues and daughters. In order to obtain the spin distributions in the compound system gamma-ray multiplicity distributions for the most important neutron evaporation channels were also measured using a 4\ensuremath{\pi} ${\mathrm{BaF}}_{2}$ array, in conjunction with Ge detectors. Results are compared with calculations based on models that consider fluctuations in barrier height due to ground-state zero-point vibrations as well as couplings to various inelastic and transfer channels.

Abstract: A rotational band based on the proton [ital h][sub 11/2] orbital has been observed to high spin (79/2[h bar]) and high rotational frequency ([h bar][omega][congruent]1.0 meV) in the nucleus [sub 51][sup 113]Sb. The measured transition quadrupole moment is [ital Q][sub 0]=4.4[plus minus]0.6 [ital e] b, consistent with an axial prolate deformation of [beta][sub 2][congruent]0.32. A large interaction strength (360[plus minus]60 keV) has been measured for the rotational alignment of [ital h][sub 11/2] neutrons which, together with a considerable delay in the crossing frequency ([Delta][h bar][omega][congruent]0.09 MeV), is construed as the first direct evidence of a large high-[ital j] proton-neutron interaction.

Abstract: A high-resolution measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross section of U234 and Np237 has been performed at the CERN Neutron Time-of-Flight facility. The cross sections have been determined in a wide energy range from 1 eV to 1 GeV using the evaluated U235 cross section as reference. In these measurements the energy determination for the U234 resonances could be improved, whereas previous discrepancies for the Np237 resonances were confirmed. New cross-section data are provided for high neutron energies that go beyond the limits of prior evaluations, obtaining important differences in the case of Np237. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: The precise determination of the neutron capture cross sections of Os-186 and Os-187 is important to define the s-process abundance of Os-187 at the formation of the solar system. This quantity can be used to evaluate the radiogenic component of the abundance of Os-187 due to the decay of the unstable Re-187 (t(1/2) = 41.2 Gyr) and from this to infer the time duration of the nucleosynthesis in our galaxy (Re/Os cosmochronometer). The neutron capture cross sections of Os-186, Os-187, and Os-188 have been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility from 1 eV to 1 MeV, covering the entire energy range of astrophysical interest. The measurement has been performed by time-of-flight technique using isotopically enriched samples and two C6D6 scintillation detectors for recording the prompt. rays emitted in the capture events. Maxwellian averaged capture cross sections have been determined for thermal energies between kT = 5 and 100 keV corresponding to all possible s-process scenarios. The estimated uncertainties for the values at 30 keV are 4.1, 3.3, and 4.7% for Os-186, Os-187, and Os-188, respectively.

Abstract: Neutron resonance analyses have been performed for the capture cross sections of Os-186, Os-187, and Os-188 measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN. Resonance parameters have been extracted up to 5, 3, and 8 keV, respectively, using the SAMMY code for a full R-matrix fit of the capture yields. From these results average resonance parameters were derived by a statistical analysis to provide a comprehensive experimental basis for modeling of the stellar neutron capture rates of these isotopes in terms of the Hauser-Feshbach statistical model. Consistent calculations for the capture and inelastic reaction channels are crucial for the evaluation of stellar enhancement factors to correct the Maxwellian averaged cross sections obtained from experimental data for the effect of thermally populated excited states. These factors have been calculated for the full temperature range of current scenarios of s-process nucleosynthesis using the combined information of the experimental data in the region of resolved resonances and in the continuum. The consequences of this analysis for the s-process component of the Os-187 abundance and the related impact on the evaluation of the time duration of galactic nucleosynthesis via the Re/Os cosmochronometer are discussed.

Abstract: The full papers will be published in EPJ Web of Conferences.; International audience; The surrogate reaction method is an indirect way of determining cross sections for nuclear reactions that proceed through a compound nucleus. In this method, the compound nucleus is produced via an alternative (surrogate) reaction and its decay (by fission, gamma or neutron emission) is measured in coincidence with the outgoing appropriate charged particle. This technique has enabled neutron-induced cross sections to be extracted for nuclear reactions on short-lived nuclei that otherwise could not be measured. The CENBG collaboration has successfully applied this technique to determine the neutron-induced fission cross sections of several short-lived nuclei such as 233Pa, 242,243Cm and 241Am. These data are very important for the development of the Th/U cycle and for minor actinide transmutation. We currently investigate whether this powerful technique can also be used to determine the neutron-induced capture cross sections. For this purpose we will use the surrogate reaction 174Yb(3He,pγ)176Lu to infer the well known 175Lu(n,γ) cross section and compare the results with the directly measured neutron-induced data. The experimental set-up and the first results will be presented. We will also discuss our future plans to use the surrogate method for extracting actinides (n,γ) cross sections.

Abstract: Because the relatively small neutron capture cross sections of the zirconium isotopes are difficult to measure, the results of previous measurements are often not adequate for a number of problems in astrophysics and nuclear technology. Therefore, the Zr-92(n,gamma) cross section has been remeasured at the CERN n_TOF facility, providing a set of improved parameters for 44 resonances in the neutron energy range up to 40 keV. With this information the cross-section uncertainties in the keV region could be reduced to 5% as required for s-process nucleosynthesis studies and technological applications.

Abstract: The (n,γ) cross section of Au197 has been measured at n-TOF in the resolved resonance region, up to 5keV, with the aim of improving the accuracy in an energy range where it is not yet considered standard. The measurements were performed with two different experimental setup and detection techniques, the total energy method based on C6D6 detectors, and the total absorption calorimetry based on a 4π BaF2 array. By comparing the data collected with the two techniques, two accurate sets of neutron-capture yields have been obtained, which could be the basis for a new evaluation leading to an extended cross-section standard. Overall good agreement is found between the n-TOF results and evaluated cross sections, with some significant exceptions for small resonances. A few resonances not included in the existing databases have also been observed. © 2010 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: The neutron time of flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a spallation neutron source with white neutron energy spectrum (from thermal to several GeV), covering the full energy range of interest for nuclear astrophysics, in particular for measurements of the neutron capture cross section required in s-process nucleosynthesis. This contribution presents an overview on the astrophysical program carried on at the n_TOF facility, the main results and their implications.
