The neutron sensitivity of the C 6 D 6 detector setup used at n_TOF facility for capture
measurements has been studied by means of detailed GEANT4 simulations. A realistic software …

The current limitations of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) used in the field of bone
regeneration consist of their brittleness, low injectability, disintegration in body fluids and low …

The spent fuel of current nuclear reactors contains fissile plutonium isotopes that can be
combined with uranium to make mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. In this way the Pu from spent fuel is …

The neutron capture cross section of the s -process branch nucleus Ni 63 affects the
abundances of other nuclei in its region, especially Cu 63 and Zn 64 . In order to determine the …

The Ge 76 ( n , γ ) reaction has been measured at the n_TOF facility at CERN via the time-of-flight
technique. Neutron capture cross sections on Ge 76 are of interest to a variety of low-…

Neutron-induced fission cross sections of 238U and 235U are used as standards in the fast
neutron region up to 200 MeV. A high accuracy of the standards is relevant to experimentally …

The newly built second experimental area EAR2 of the n_TOF spallation neutron source at
CERN allows to perform (n, charged particles) experiments on short-lived highly radioactive …

Many growth factors have been studied as additives accelerating lumbar fusion rates in
different animal models. However, their low hydrolytic and thermal stability both in vitro and in …

Asymptotic giant branch stars are responsible for the production of most of the heavy
isotopes beyond Sr observed in the solar system. Among them, isotopes shielded from the r -…

The neutron capture cross section of 154 Gd was measured from 1 eV to 300 keV in the
experimental area located 185 m from the CERN n_TOF neutron spallation source, using a …
