The n_TOF NEAR Station Commissioning and first physics case Stamati, M. E. Torres Sánchez, Pablo Praena Rodríguez, Antonio Javier Amar Es-Sghir, Hamza García Infantes, Francisco Porras Sánchez, José Ignacio n_TOF Collaboration The NEAR Station is a new experimental area developed at the n_TOF Facility at CERN. The activation station of NEAR underwent a characterization of the beam following the installation of the new n_TOF Spallation Target. The commissioning of the neutron beam comprises a set of simulations made with the FLUKA code and experimental verification. The experimental determination of the neutron spectrum was made using activation techniques with three separate set-ups. Two set-ups were based on the Multi-foil Activation technique (MAM-1 and MAM-2), and the third set-up relied on the process of neutron moderation and activation of a single material (ANTILoPE). The three set-ups are presented. Also the present plans and future perspectives of the activation station of NEAR are discussed. 2023-10-18T12:52:51Z 2023-10-18T12:52:51Z 2023-05-26 conference output Stamati, M. E. et al.
