Study of the neutron-induced fission cross section of Np-237 at CERN's n_TOF facility over a wide energy range Stamatopoulos, A. Porras Sánchez, José Ignacio Praena Rodríguez, Antonio Javier TOF Collaboration This research is implemented through IKY scholarships programme and co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund - ESF) and Greek national funds through the action entitled Reinforcement of Postdoctoral Researchers, in the framework of the Operational Programme Human Resources Development Program, Education and Lifelong Learning of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) 2014-2020. Neutron-induced fission cross sections of isotopes involved in the nuclear fuel cycle are vital for the design and safe operation of advanced nuclear systems. Such experimental data can also provide additional constraints for the adjustment of nuclear model parameters used in the evaluation process, resulting in the further development of fission models. In the present work, the Np-237(n,f) cross section was studied at the EAR2 vertical beam-line at CERN's n_TOF facility, over a wide range of neutron energies, from meV to MeV, using the time-of-flight technique and a set-up based on Micromegas detectors, in an attempt to provide accurate experimental data. Preliminary results in the 200 keV - 14 MeV neutron energy range as well as the experimental procedure, including a description of the facility and the data handling and analysis, will be presented. 2021-05-04T11:47:10Z 2021-05-04T11:47:10Z 2020-09-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject EPJ Web of Conferences 239, 05006 (2020).
