In turn, such facilities need innovative detection setups that are fast, have low sensitivity to neutrons, can quickly recover from the so-called $纬$-flash, and offer the highest possible detection sensitivity. In this paper, we present several steps toward such advanced systems. Specifically, we describe the performance of a high-sensitivity experimental setup at CERN n\_TOF EAR2. It consists of nine sTED detector modules in a compact cylindrical configuration, two conventional used large-volume C$_{6}$D$_{6}$ detectors, and one LaCl$_{3}$(Ce) detector. The performance of these detection systems is compared using $^{93}$Nb($n$,$纬$) data. We also developed a detailed \textsc{Geant4} Monte Carlo model of the experimental EAR2 setup, which allows for a better understanding of the detector features, including their efficiency determination. This Monte Carlo model has been used for further optimization, thus leading to a new conceptual design of a $纬$ detector array, STAR, based on a deuterated-stilbene crystal array. Finally, the suitability of deuterated-stilbene crystals for the future STAR array is investigaged experimentally utilizing a small stilbene-d12 prototype. The results suggest a similar or superior performance of STAR with respect to other setups based on liquid-scintillators, and allow for additional features such as neutron-gamma discrimination and a higher level of customization capability. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2411.18969v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2411.18969v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 28 November, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.09759">arXiv:2403.09759</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.09759">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2403.09759">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Nuclear Experiment">nucl-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radphyschem.2024.111525">10.1016/j.radphyschem.2024.111525 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> A Segmented Total Energy Detector (sTED) optimized for $(n,纬)$ cross-section measurements at n_TOF EAR2 </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Alcayne%2C+V">V.

Since 2014, Experimental ARea 2 (EAR2) is operational and delivers a neutron fluence of $4\times 10^7$ neutrons per nominal proton pulse, which is 50 times higher than the one of Experimental ARea 1 (EAR1) of $8\times10^5$ neutrons per pulse. The high neutron flux at EAR2 results in high counting rates in the detectors that challenged the previously existing capture detection systems. For this reason, a Segmented Total Energy Detector (sTED) has been developed to overcome the limitations in the detectors response, by reducing the active volume per module and by using a photomultiplier (PMT) optimized for high counting rates. This paper presents the main characteristics of the sTED, including energy and time resolution, response to $纬$-rays, and provides as well details of the use of the Pulse Height Weighting Technique (PHWT) with this detector. The sTED has been validated to perform neutron-capture cross-section measurements in EAR2 in the neutron energy range from thermal up to at least 400 keV. The detector has already been successfully used in several measurements at n_TOF EAR2. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2403.09759v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2403.09759v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 March, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.17348">arXiv:2401.17348</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.17348">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2401.17348">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability">physics.data-an</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Nuclear Experiment">nucl-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radphyschem.2024.112243">10.1016/j.radphyschem.2024.112243 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Analysis of neutron time-of-flight spectra with a Bayesian unfolding methodology </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fiol%2C+A+P+d+R">A.

The proposed methodology allowed for obtaining accurate results over the energy range above the neutron detection threshold. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2401.17348v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2401.17348v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 9 September, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 30 January, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> January 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">11 pages, 10 figures, revised version submitted to Radiation Physics and Chemistry</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Rad.

In this work we explore the most conspicuous effects associated to harsh count rate conditions: dead-time and pile-up effects. Both effects, when not properly treated, can lead to large systematic uncertainties and bias in the determination of neutron cross sections. In the majority of neutron capture measurements carried out at the CERN n\_TOF facility, the detectors of choice are the C$_{6}$D$_{6}$ liquid-based either in form of large-volume cells or recently commissioned sTED detector array, consisting of much smaller-volume modules. To account for the aforementioned effects, we introduce a Monte Carlo model for these detectors mimicking harsh count rate conditions similar to those happening at the CERN n\_TOF 20~m fligth path vertical measuring station. The model parameters are extracted by comparison with the experimental data taken at the same facility during 2022 experimental campaign. We propose a novel methodology to consider both, dead-time and pile-up effects simultaneously for these fast detectors and check the applicability to experimental data from $^{197}$Au($n$,$纬$), including the saturated 4.9~eV resonance which is an important component of normalization for neutron cross section measurements. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2311.01365v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2311.01365v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 2 November, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.07311">arXiv:2304.07311</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.07311">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2304.07311">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Nuclear Experiment">nucl-ex</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Commissioning of miniBELEN-10A, a moderated neutron counter with a flat efficiency for thick-target neutron yields measurements </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Mont-Geli%2C+N">N Mont-Geli</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Tarife%C3%B1o-Saldivia%2C+A">A Tarife帽o-Saldivia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fraile%2C+L+M">L M Fraile</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Vi%C3%B1als%2C+S">S Vi帽als</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Perea%2C+A">A Perea</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Pall%C3%A0s%2C+M">M Pall脿s</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Cort%C3%A9s%2C+G">G Cort茅s</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Garcia%2C+G">G Garcia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=N%C3%A1cher%2C+E">E N谩cher</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Tain%2C+J+L">J L Tain</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Alcayne%2C+V">V Alcayne</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Alonso-Sa%C3%B1udo%2C+O">O Alonso-Sa帽udo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Algora%2C+A">A Algora</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Balibrea-Correa%2C+J">J Balibrea-Correa</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Benito%2C+J">J Benito</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Borge%2C+M+J+G">M J G Borge</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Briz%2C+J+A">J A Briz</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Calvi%C3%B1o%2C+F">F Calvi帽o</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Cano-Ott%2C+D">D Cano-Ott</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=De+Blas%2C+A">A De Blas</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Domingo-Pardo%2C+C">C Domingo-Pardo</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Fern%C3%A1ndez%2C+B">B Fern谩ndez</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Garcia%2C+R">R Garcia</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=G%C3%B3mez-Camacho%2C+J">J G贸mez-Camacho</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Gonz%C3%A1lez-Romero%2C+E+M">E M Gonz谩lez-Romero</a> , et al.

This contribution describes the key features and limitations for capture measurements in the two beam lines prior to the target upgrade and presents first results of (n,$纬$) measurements carried out as part of the commissioning of the upgraded facility. In particular, the energy resolution, a key factor for both increasing the signal-to-background ratio and obtaining accurate resonance parameters, has been clearly improved for the 20 m long vertical beam-line with the new target design while keeping the remarkably high resolution of the long beamline n_TOF-EAR1. The improvements in the n_TOF neutron beam-lines need to be accompanied by improvements in the instrumentation. A review is given on recent detector R&D projects aimed at tackling the existing challenges and further improving the capabilities of this facility. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2303.08724v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2303.08724v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 15 March, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2023. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">6 pages, 4 figures (7 panels).

The new area, characterized by a neutron beam of very high flux, has been designed with the purpose of performing activation measurements of interest for astrophysics and various applications. The beam is transported from the spallation target to the NEAR station through a hole in the shielding wall of the target, inside which a collimator is inserted. The new area is complemented with a 纬-ray spectroscopy laboratory, the GEAR station, equipped with a high efficiency HPGe detector, for the measurement of the activity resulting from irradiation of a sample in the NEAR station. The use of a moderator/filter assembly is envisaged, in order to produce a neutron beam of Maxwellian shape at different thermal energies, necessary for the measurement of Maxwellian Averaged Cross Sections of astrophysical interest. A new fast-cycling activation technique is also being investigated, for measurements of reactions leading to isotopes of very short half life. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2209.04443v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2209.04443v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 5 September, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2022. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.10374">arXiv:2012.10374</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.10374">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2012.10374">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics">astro-ph.IM</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Nuclear Experiment">nucl-ex</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1140/epja/s10050-021-00507-7">10.1140/epja/s10050-021-00507-7 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Imaging neutron capture cross sections: i-TED proof-of-concept and future prospects based on Machine-Learning techniques </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Babiano-Su%C3%A1rez%2C+V">V.

This work presents the first experimental validation of the i-TED apparatus for high-resolution time-of-flight experiments and demonstrates for the first time the concept proposed for background rejection. To this aim both $^{197}$Au($n,纬$) and $^{56}$Fe($n, 纬$) reactions were measured at CERN n\_TOF using an i-TED demonstrator based on only three position-sensitive detectors. Two \cds detectors were also used to benchmark the performance of i-TED. The i-TED prototype built for this study shows a factor of $\sim$3 higher detection sensitivity than state-of-the-art \cds detectors in the $\sim$10~keV neutron energy range of astrophysical interest. This paper explores also the perspectives of further enhancement in performance attainable with the final i-TED array consisting of twenty position-sensitive detectors and new analysis methodologies based on Machine-Learning techniques. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2012.10374v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2012.10374v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 December, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2020. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">16 pages, 16 figures</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.06972">arXiv:1911.06972</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.06972">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1911.06972">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/1668/1/012013">10.1088/1742-6596/1668/1/012013 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Review and new concepts for neutron-capture measurements of astrophysical interest </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&query=Domingo-Pardo%2C+C">C.

A brief historical review focused on total energy detectors will be presented to illustrate how, advances in instrumentation have led, over the years, to the assessment and discovery of many new aspects of $s$-process nucleosynthesis and to the progressive refinement of theoretical models of stellar evolution. A summary will be presented on current efforts to develop new detection concepts, such as the Total-Energy Detector with $纬$-ray imaging capability (i-TED). The latter is based on the simultaneous combination of Compton imaging with neutron time-of-flight (TOF) techniques, in order to achieve a superior level of sensitivity and selectivity in the measurement of stellar neutron capture rates. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1911.06972v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1911.06972v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 16 November, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics IX -
