Abstract FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) is an applied nuclear physics experiment with the aim of performing high precision cross section measurements for fragmentation reactions interest in hadrontherapy and radiation protection space. The program foresees a set light ion beams, such as C O, energy range 100–800 MeV/u interacting tissue-like shielding material targets. setup was initially conceived detection charged fragments and, 2021, Collaboration started study possible solutions neutron...
The experimental setup of the new measurement 239 Pu fission and capture cross-section in n_TOF time-of-flight facility at CERN is presented. aims to address needs demands nuclear data users. experiment incorporates an innovative fast Fission Fragment Detector Total Absorption Calorimeter, enabling implementation tagging technique. Preliminary results exhibit robust performance detector systems, along with high quality samples. These samples were exclusively produced for this by European...
Challenging neutron-capture cross-section measurements of small cross sections and samples with a very limited number atoms require high-flux time-of-flight facilities. In turn, such facilities need innovative detection setups that are fast, have low sensitivity to neutrons, can quickly recover from the so-called $\gamma$-flash, offer highest possible sensitivity. this paper, we present several steps toward advanced systems. Specifically, describe performance high-sensitivity experimental...

One of the crucial ingredients for improvement stellar models is accurate knowledge neutron capture cross-sections different isotopes involved in $s$-,$r$- and $i$- processes. These measurements can shed light on existing discrepancies between observed predicted isotopic abundances help to constrain physical conditions where these reactions take place along stages evolution.In particular case radioactive $^{94}$Nb, $^{94}$Nb($n$,$γ$) cross-section could play a role determination $s$-process...
Abstract Based on an idea by Carlo Rubbia, the n_TOF facility at CERN has been operating for over 20 years. It is a neutron spallation source, driven GeV/c proton beam from PS accelerator. Neutrons in very wide energy range (from GeV, down to sub-eV kinetic energy) are generated massive Lead target feeding two experimental areas. EAR1, horizonal with respect direction set 185 meters target. EAR2, vertical line placed m. Neutron energies experiments selected time-of-flight technique (hence...
