The NEA High priority Request List [Plompen:2007] features the neutron capture on 50Cr and 53Cr between 1 and 100 keV as very relevant for criticality safety. In the case of 50Cr, the product of the (n,γ) reaction is 51Cr, unstable with a half-life of 27.7 days which makes it suitable for neutron activation experiments. Although several time-of- flight experiments have been performed,...
The main goal of this proposed experiment is to study the interaction of neutrons with magnesium fluoride (MgF2). These neutrons are produced at MONNET in the Joint Research Centre-European Comission at Geel, Belgium, using a lithium fluoride target (LiF), via 7Li(p,n) reaction. There are three main goals for the experiment:
1.-Characterization of the angular and energetic distribution of the...
The Laboratory for micro-irradiation, neutron metrology and dosimetry (LMDN) is responsible for establishing metrological references in France for neutron fluence energy distributions and associated dosimetric quantities. The LMDN has acquired four 2"x2" scintillators for these metrological purposes; two stilbenes and two EJ309. The aim of this work is to characterize these scintillators,...
