Measurements of neutron capture cross sections using a NaI(Tl) spectrometer at the J-PARC MLF neutron nucleus reaction instrument
ORAL
Abstract
A project to measure neutron capture cross sections of minor actinides and long-lived fission fragments have been started at the neutron nucleus reaction instrument (NNRI) in the Materials and Life science Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). We have installed a NaI(Tl) spectrometer in NNRI to detect neutron capture gamma-rays from a sample. Preliminary experimental results will be described.
*Present study is the result of ``Study on nuclear data by using a high intensity pulsed neutron source for advanced nuclear system'' entrusted to Hokkaido University by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT).
