Measurement of the 240Pu(n, f) cross-section at the CERN n_TOF facility: first results from EAR-2
The accurate knowledge of neutron cross-sections of a variety of plutonium isotopes and other minor actinides, such as neptunium, americium and curium, is crucial for feasibility and performance studies of advanced nuclear systems (Generation-IV reactors, Accelerator Driven Systems). In this context, the 240Pu(n, f) cross-section was measured with the time-of-flight technique at the CERN n_TOF facility at incident neutron energies ranging from thermal to several MeV. The present measurement is the first to have been performed at n_TOF's newly commissioned Experimental Area II (EAR-2), which is located at the end of an 18 m neutron beam-line and features a neutron fluence that is 25-30 times higher with respect to the existing 185 m flight-path (EAR-1), as well as stronger suppression of sample-induced backgrounds, due to the shorter times-of-flight involved. Preliminary results are presented.
