Description

In order to develop new applications and advanced technologies the worldwide scientific community requires very precise and highly reliable cross-section measurements. In this talk, I will present a measurement of neutron-induced (n,γ), (n,p), & (n,2n) reaction cross sections in the fast neutron energy region using FOTIA and PURNIMA facilities at BARC, India [1-2]. I will further talk about the work carried out at IFIN-HH related to preparation of a neutron capture cross-section measurement at the n_TOF facility at CERN [3].
