Improving the knowledge of the neutron population of actual and future reactors is required to improve the accuracy of neutronics simulations. Among others, this population is driven by (n, xn) reactions, including inelastic scattering, these reactions changing the number of neutrons in a reactor core and their speed. Their cross sections are however, still nowadays, not precisely known. That...
Investigating neutron scattering with surrogate proton induced reactions
Determination of the accurate values for gamma transitions, level scheme, nuclear level density and radiative strength functions is crucial in low-energy nuclear physics. Accurate experimental values of those parameters are very important for both fundamental and applied research. The two-step gamma cascades method, involving the detection of gamma coincidences following thermal (cold) neutron...
Nuclear Physics experiments are usually carried out in large accelerators, whose reduced number restricts the access to these facilities. For this reason, there is a growing interest in developing complementary facilities capable of hosting Nuclear Physics experiments, even at smaller size, to further extend the nuclear data available. In this context, high-power, high-repetition-rate lasers...
