Setup for Cross-Sections
- Marine Vandebrouck (CEA Saclay Irfu/DPhN)
Description
Focus on new setups, new facilities for cross-sections
The SCONE device is a new large volume detector with many capabilities. After its description we will descrbe how it can be use to measure (n,xn) reactions cross sections. A first experiment has been performed at NFS with a multiplate fission chamber. Results obtained on the neutron induced fission on uranium 238 will be presented. I will conclude with the presentation of theforeseen program at NFS.
An overview of the cross-section experiments done with the Medley setup at the GANIL-NFS neutron beam will be presented. Future plans for the setup and possibilities for future measurements will be discussed.
The National Ignition Facility (NIF) laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is capable of producing a plasma with temperatures ~10 keV, particle densities ~10^32 m-3, and neutron fluxes of up to 10^34 m^-2 s^-1. These features, combined with the advanced x-ray, neutron and radiochemistry diagnostics that are available at the NIF, make it uniquely suitable for carrying out experiments...
