Neutron capture measurements for s-process nucleosynthesis
/ n_TOF Collaboration
This article presents a review about the main CERN n_TOF contributions to the field of neutron-capture experiments of interest for s-process nucleosynthesis studies over the last 25 years, with a special focus on the measurement of radioactive isotopes. A few recent capture experiments on stable isotopes of astrophysical interest are also discussed. [...]

Tech.) ; Ferrari, A (HZDR, Dresden) ; Hartmann, A (HZDR, Dresden) ; Hensel, T (HZDR, Dresden ; Dresden, Tech. U.) ; Masha, E (HZDR, Dresden) ; Müller, S E (HZDR, Dresden) ; Römer, K (HZDR, Dresden) et al.
The dipole strength of the nuclide Co59 was studied in photon-scattering experiments using bremsstrahlung produced with electron beams of energies of 8.6 and 12.2 MeV at the bremsstrahlung facility γELBE. We identified 130 levels up to an excitation energy of 10.5 MeV. [...]

Towards a new generation of solid total-energy detectors for neutron-capture time-of-flight experiments with intense neutron beams

Challenging neutron-capture cross-section measurements of small cross sections and samples with a very limited number of atoms require high-flux time-of-flight facilities. In turn, such facilities need innovative detection setups that are fast, have low sensitivity to neutrons, can quickly recover from the so-called $\gamma$-flash, and offer the highest possible detection sensitivity.
