In the last two decades, through technological, experimental and theoretical advances, the
situation in experimental fission studies has changed dramatically. With the use of advanced …

Neutron-based experimental techniques have been continuously improved, refined and
strengthened since the pioneering experiments conducted by Clifford Shull and Bertram …

The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF features a white neutron source produced by
spallation through 20GeV/c protons impinging on a lead target. The facility, aiming primarily …

Cross section data in the resolved and unresolved resonance region are represented by
nuclear reaction formalisms using parameters which are determined by fitting them to …

The quest for the origin of matter in the Universe had been the subject of philosophical and
theological debates over the history of mankind, but quantitative answers could be found …

Particle identification techniques are fundamental tools in nuclear physics experiments.
Discriminating particles or nuclei produced in nuclear interactions allows to better …

Neutron capture cross sections are one of the most important nuclear inputs to models of
stellar nucleosynthesis of the elements heavier than iron. The activation technique and the …

The study of stellar burning began just over 100 years ago. Nonetheless, we do not yet have
a detailed picture of the nucleosynthesis within stars and how nucleosynthesis impacts …

A pulse shape analysis framework is described, which was developed for n_TOF-Phase3,
the third phase in the operation of the n_TOF facility at CERN. The most notable feature of …

Neutron-induced fission reactions play a crucial role in a variety of fields of fundamental and
applied nuclear science. In basic nuclear physics they provide important information on …
