Abstract

Capture cross-sections on isotopes relevant to accelerator driven systems for energy production and nuclear waste transmutation, and to stellar nucleosynthesis have been studied at the innovative neutron time of flight facility n{sub T}OF at CERN. The extremely high instantaneous neutron flux and the low background conditions in the experimental area make this facility unique for accurate measurements on low-mass or radioactive samples. The n{sub T}OF facility is described, together with the features of the experimental apparata used. First results of the experimental campaign 2002-2004 are presented.

Measurements at n{sub T}OF of the Neutron Capture Cross Section of Minor Actinides Relevant to the Nuclear Waste Transmutation

Journal Article Cano-Ott, D. ; Alvarez-Velarde, F. ; Embid-Segura, M. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

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 a strategy for the Nuclear Waste Transmutation. The listed cross sections have been measured in 2004 at n{sub T}OF 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{sub T}OF facility, innovativemore »« less

Measurement of Capture Cross Sections of 90,91,92,94,96Zr Isotopes at n{sub T}OF

Journal Article Moreau, C. ; Fujii, K. ; Abbondanno, U. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The neutron capture cross sections for Zr isotopes have important implications in nuclear technologies as well in the field of nuclear astrophysics. The innovative features of the n{sub T}OF CERN facility allowed for an accurate determination of the capture cross sections for these isotopes. The preliminary results of the measurements show capture-resonance strengths systematically smaller than in previously available data.

Neutron physics of the Re/Os clock. I. Measurement of the (n,gamma) cross sections of {sup 186,187,188}Os at the CERN n{sub T}OF facility

Journal Article Mosconi, M. ; Kaeppeler, F. ; Audouin, L. ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

The precise determination of the neutron capture cross sections of {sup 186}Os and {sup 187}Os is important to define the s-process abundance of {sup 187}Os at the formation of the solar system. This quantity can be used to evaluate the radiogenic component of the abundance of {sup 187}Os due to the decay of the unstable {sup 187}Re (t{sub 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 {sup 186}Os, {sup 187}Os, and {sup 188}Os have been measured at the CERN n{sub T}OF facility from 1more »« less

Measurement of the 232Th Neutron Capture Cross Section at the CERN n{sub T}OF Facility

Journal Article Aerts, G. ; Andriamonje, S. ; Berthoumieux, E. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The use of a fuel cycle based on 232Th can substantially reduce the radiotoxicity of the produced nuclear waste since the lower atomic and mass number of thorium results in a strongly suppressed build-up of the higher actinides and especially americium and curium. The design and realization of nuclear power stations based on the use of thorium, either in a critical or subcritical system, require an accurate knowledge of the 232Th(n,{gamma}) reaction cross section. We have measured the neutron capture cross section of 232Th at the recently constructed neutron time-of-flight facility n{sub T}OF at CERN in the energy range frommore »« less
