Description
A new experimental setup dedicated to the measurement of the fission cross sections of even plutonium isotopes relative to 235U is currently under development. The goal is to provide new measurements in the neutron energy range from 1 to 20 MeV for these three isotopes, addressing nuclear data needs identified in the High Priority Request List (HPRL). The presentation will introduce the experimental setup, specifically designed to achieve efficient alpha–fission discrimination, and will discuss the first in-beam test results. The first experiment on the measurement of the 242Pu fission cross section will be scheduled at the LANSCE/FP15L this year.
