Intensive fast neutron sources using deuteron accelerators have been proposed for various
applications. To contribute to the design study of such neutron sources, a deuteron nuclear …

The neutrons for science facility (NFS), the first operational experimental area of the new
GANIL/SPIRAL-2 facility, received its first beams in December 2019. Proton-induced …

SPIRAL2 is a high power linear accelerator part of the GANIL laboratory. This
superconducting (SC) linac can accelerate cw light ions to heavy ions at energies up to 40 …

In this work, we studied the emission yields, decay times and coincidence resolving times
(CRT) of two gases, nitrogen (N 2) and tetrafluoromethane (CF 4), used for particle detection …

Franz Käppeler and collaborators showed in the 1980's that the 7 Li (p, n) 7 Be reaction can
be used to produce a flux of neutrons having a stellar-like energy distribution, closely similar …

The SPIRAL2 facility at GANIL will use a high-power p, d and heavy-ion superconducting
linac for a wide range of applications including RIB production using both ISOL and in-flight …

Background: The deuteron weak binding energy is responsible for high complexity of the
deuteron interaction with nuclei that involves also a variety of reactions initiated by the …

Neutron calibration facilities and monitoring techniques have been developed since the
middle of the 20th century to support research and nuclear power energy development. The …

The SPIRAL2 linac is now successfully commissioned; H $^+ $, $^ 4$ He $^{2+} $, D $^+ $
have been accelerated up to nominal parameters and $^{18} $ O $^{6+, 7+} $ and $^{40} …

A fast chopper system has been developed and tested for single bunch selection with the
radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerating element of the Soreq Applied Research …
