Neutron-induced fission cross section measurement of U-233, Am-241 and Am-243 in the energy range 0.5 MeV {= E-n {= 20 MeV at n_TOF at CERN

Abstract

Neutron-induced fission cross section measurements of U-233, Am-243 and Am-241 relative to U-235 have been carried out at the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. A fast ionization chamber has been employed.

All samples were located in the same detector; therefore the studied elements and the reference U-235 target are subject to the same neutron beam.
