    Description
    The recent developments in Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) has revived the interest for better knowledge of neutron cross sections. The existing data come from compilations of various experiments, often not in perfect agreement, which are mostly performed in association with a neutron time of flight (TOF) measurement. This technique is limited by the strength of the primary neutron source. The n_TOF facility at CERN is a source of neutrons produced by spallation of 20 GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The outstanding characteristics of this facility (very high intensity, 200 m flight path, wide spectral function) make it an useful tool to study with excellent resolution, neutron cross sections of almost any element, using targets of modest mass.
