Hence, the measurement of the U-233(n,gamma) cross section relies on a method to accurately distinguish between capture and fission gamma-rays. A measurement of the U-233 alpha-ratio has been performed at the n_TOF facility at CERN using a so-called fission tagging setup, coupling nTOF 's Total Absorption Calorimeter with a novel fission chamber to tag the fission gamma-rays. The experimental setup is described and essential parts of the analysis are discussed. Finally, a preliminary U-233 alpha-ratio is presented.}, organization = {French NEEDS/NACRE Project}, organization = {European Commission within HORIZON2020 via the EURATOM Project EUFRAT}, publisher = {EDP Sciences}, title = {Preliminary results on the U-233 α-ratio measurement at n_TOF}, doi = {10.1051/epjconf/202023901043}, author = {Bacak, M. and Porras Sánchez, José Ignacio and Praena Rodríguez, Antonio Javier and TOF Collaboration}, }
