The MC-aided analysis methodology for the use of low-efficiency radiation detectors in time-of-flight neutron-capture measurements is discussed, with particular emphasis on the systematic accuracy. Several recent instrumental advances are also presented, such as the development of total-energy detectors with γ - ray imaging capability for background suppression, and the development of an array of small-volume organic scintillators aimed at exploiting the high instantaneous neutron-flux of EAR2. Finally, astrophysics prospects related to the intermediate i neutron-capture process of nucleosynthesis are discussed in the context of the new NEAR activation area.}, organization = {European Research Council (ERC) 681740}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN)}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III}, organization = {Spanish Government PID2019-104714GBC21 FPA2017-83946-C2-1-P FIS2015-71688-ERC FPA-2016-77689-C2-1-R RTI2018-098117-B-C21}, organization = {CSIC PIE-201750I26}, organization = {European H2020 847552}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {Advances and new ideas for neutron-capture astrophysics experiments at CERN n_TOF}, doi = {10.1140/epja/s10050-022-00876-7}, author = {Domingo Pardo, C. and García Infantes, F. and Porras Sánchez, José Ignacio and Praena Rodríguez, Antonio Javier and Torres Sánchez, Pablo and TOF Collaboration}, }
