At least part of the demand for medical radionuclides currently produced via fission of $^{235}$U in dedicated reactors could be met in the future by alternative accelerator-based production routes via photonuclear and light-ion reactions, thus addressing supply chain issues that arise from the operation of ageing reactors and nuclear proliferation concerns, as well as offering easier...
An innovative neutron Time-of-Flight facility (n_TOF) is operative since 2001 at CERN, with two experimental areas, 20 m and 200 m flight paths.
Neutrons in the wide energy range, from thermal to a few GeV, are generated by spallation of 20 GeV/c protons on a lead target. The high instantaneous neutron flux, low duty cycle, high resolution and low background make this facility unique for...
The Experimental Nuclear Reaction Database (EXFOR) database is composed of the numerical data compiled by the international collaboration within the Nuclear Reaction Data Centre (NRDC).
Even though it is digitized and has been used everywhere, the EXFOR format is still under the restrictions of a punch card legacy. It prevents users from using EXFOR data directly by plotting packages such...
