Description

The study of neutron induced reactions is of interest to various disciplines in science and technology. The neutron time-of-flight facility GELINA installed at the IRMM Geel (B) has been designed to study neutron-induced reactions in the resonance region. It is a multi-user facility, providing a pulsed white neutron source, with a neutron energy range between 10 meV and 20 MeV and a time resolution of 1 ns. The research program concentrates on cross section data needs for nuclear energy applications and cross section measurements. In this contribution the complementarity of GELINA and the nTOF facility and efforts made to improve the quality of the covariance data in the resonance region will be discussed.
