) approximately 900 kDa and ratio of M (mannuronate)/G (guluronate) about 1.3 was irradiated by 
Co-60 in aqueous solution at doses up to 200 kGy. The irradiation dose was shown to be a function for reducing and molecular weight distribution of irradiated alginates. The distribution of oligomer fractions in irradiated products was also investigated by separation using ultrafiltration membranes. The irradiated alginate with approximately 14.2 kDa was found to have a positive influence for growing of barley and soybean. The irradiated oligoalginate fraction with ranging from 1 to 3 kDa displayed the strongest effect on the growth and development of the mentioned plants at low concentration (20 ppm). It is suggested that oligoalginate with in the range 1-3 kDa is a trigger for the growth and development of plants.

Times Cited Count：34 Percentile：86.95(Physics, Nuclear)The neutron capture cross section of Pb has been measured at the CERN n_TOF installation with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 440 keV. In the interval between 100 keV and 440 keV we report the average cross section. The background in the entire energy range was reliably determined from the measurement of a 
Pb sample. We obtain a Maxwellian average capture cross section for Pb at 
= 30 keV of 79(3) mb, in agreement with previous experiments. However our cross section at = 5 keV is about 35 % larger than the values reported so far. The implications of the new cross section for the -process abundance contributions in the Pb/Bi region are discussed.

Times Cited Count：27 Percentile：81.32(Physics, Nuclear)The radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility using the pulse height weighting technique in the resoleved region. The measurement has been performed with an optimized setup of two 
scintillation detectors, which allowed us to reduce scattered neutron backgrounds down to a negligible level. Resonance parameters have been determined for 16 resonances by means of an R-matrix analysis in the neutron energy range from 3 keV to 320 keV. Good agreement with previous measurements was found at low neutron energies, whereas substantial discrepancies appear beyond 45 keV. With the present results, we obtain an s-process contribution of 77
8 % to the solar abundance of Pb.

Times Cited Count：47 Percentile：90.41(Physics, Nuclear)The neutron capture cross section of Bi has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility by employing the pulse-height-weighting technique. Improvements over previous measurements are mainly because of an optimized detection system, which led to a practically negligible neutron sensitivity. Because Bi is the last stable isotope in the reaction path of the stellar s-process, the Maxwellian averaged capture cross section is important for the recycling of the reaction flow by alpha decays. In the relevant stellar range of thermal energies between = 5 and 8 keV our new capture rate is about 16% higher than the presently accepted value used for nucleosynthesis calculations. The present cross section measurement is also of relevance for the design of accelerator driven systems based on a liquid metal Pb/Bi spallation target.

We have measured the neutron capture reaction yield of Th at the neutron tim-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN in the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV. The average capture cross section has been extracted in the energy range from 4 keV up to 1 MeV with an overall accuracy better than 4 %. An independent IAEA evaluation shows good agreement with the data.

The neutron capture cross sections of Pb and 
Pb 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 Pb we have determined by first time the capture cross sections for two strong -wave resonances below 2.5 keV. In Pb we have determined capture cross sections for a large number 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.

We measured the neutron capture cross section of La relative to 
Au in the energy range of 0.6 eV to 9 keV at n_TOF, the neutron time-of-flight facility at CERN. The data were fitted using R-matrix formalism to extract resonance parameters which were used to calculate average level spacings. The data were used to determine Maxwellian-averaged neutron capture cross sections which, in turn, were used to calculate the La abundance synthesized in a steller model of the main component of the process.

A neutron Time-of-Flight facility (n_TOF) is operative at CERN since 2001. The innovative features of the neutron beam, in particular the high instantaneous flux, the wide energy range, the high resolution and the low background, makes this facility unique for measurements of neutron induced reactions relevant to the field of Emerging Nuclear Technologies, as well as to Nuclear Astrophysics and fundamental Nuclear Physics. The scientific motivations that have led to the construction of this new facility are here presented.

Accurate and reliable neutron cross section data for actinides are necessary for the proper design, safety reguartion and precise performance assessment of transmutaion devices. In particular, the neutron capture cross sections of 
Np, 
Pu and 
Am 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_TOF with a high accuracy due to a combination of features unique in the world.

A series of measurements of Np fission cross section have been performed at the CERN spallation neutron source facility n_TOF. A fast ionization chamber was used as a fission fragment detector. Total experimental uncertainties are determined to be at the level of 3%. Analysis of experimental data in the neutron energy from 5 eV to 1 MeV showed a systematic deviation from the evaluated data (ENDF/B-VI). This discrepancy amounts to up to the factor of 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. 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 Np is required.

Since its establishment in 2018, the Young Generation Network (YGN) has been dedicated, with support of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA), to a variety of activities to promote communication, collaboration and professional development of students, young professionals and scientists in radiation protection and its allied fields. This presentation will first report on the activities performed from the middle of 2018 to 2022, with highlights on some important events, collaboration and publications. The discussion and insight obtained from each activity will be summarized and used to inform how the IRPA YGN will aim to achieve its on-going activities and continue to follow the ways paved in the Strategic Agenda 2022-2024 and despite the very specific challenges faced by a "young generation network". Namely, running international surveys (for example, on the usage of social media in radiation protection, or on the long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic), engaging national YGNs (for example in contest and discussion about the future of the radiation protection profession), extending the network, finding new relationships with networks with an interest in the young generation and participation in (remote) events will be aspired for.
