被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:95.51The U(n,f) cross section from 20 MeV up to about 1 GeV has been measured relative to the H(n,n)H reaction. The neutron flux impinging on the U sample has been obtained by detecting recoil protons originating from n-p scattering in a CH sample. Two Proton Recoil Telescopes (PRT), consisting of several layers of solid-state detectors and fast plastic scintillators, have been set at proton scattering angles of 25.07 and 20.32. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations were performed to characterize proton transport through the PRTs. In this work we compare measured data collected with the PRTs with a full Monte Carlo simulation based on the Geant-4 toolkit.

被引用回数:3 パーセンタイル:95.51The neutron induced fission of U is extensively used as a reference for neutron fluence measurements in various applications. However, no data exist on neutron induced fission of U above 200 MeV. The neutron facility n_TOF offers the possibility to improve the situation. The measurement of U(n,f) relative to the differential n-p scattering cross-section, was carried out with the aim of providing accurate and precise cross section data in the energy range from 10 MeV up to 1 GeV. In this measurements, recoil proton telescopes are used to measure the neutron flux while the fission events are detected and counted with dedicated detectors. In this paper the measurement campaign and the experimental set-up are illustrated.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:61.28The Cosmological Lithium Problem refers to the large discrepancy between the abundance of primordial Li predicted by the standard theory of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the value inferred from the so-called "Spite plateau" in halo stars. A possible explanation for this longstanding puzzle in Nuclear Astrophysics is related to the incorrect estimation of the destruction rate of Be, which is responsible for the production of 95% of primordial Lithium. While charged-particle induced reactions have mostly been ruled out, data on the Be(n,) and Be(n,p) reactions are scarce or completely missing, so that a large uncertainty still affects the abundance of Li predicted by the standard theory of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Both reactions have been measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN, providing for the first time data in a wide neutron energy range.
