Jericha
2 Motivations 238 Reactions induced by fast neutrons RNR systems (GEN-IV, ADS...) fission neutrons in fuel (even PWR) Impact the neutron number and their Ecin reactor features (keff, βeff, Pr...) waste/dismantling (isotopic composition) 238 (n,n') Entry in HPRL for (n,n') on 238 Few data available (esp. between 1 and 14 MeV) Precision requirement for data bases (OCDE/NEA HPRL)
3 Method Three methods to measure (n,xn) cross-sections : - activation - neutron detection - prompt gamma spectroscopy Measured (n,xnγ) cross section Theoretical model for (n,xn) Spectroscopic Parameters Total (n,xn) cross section Lj E x ( Li ) E σ n ' ( E )= i=1 Observed γ The total inelastic scattering cross section is the sum of the cross sections carried by all transitions to the ground-state General case: p( Li g. s. ) σ n', γ ( E, Li L k ) p γ ( Li Lk ) Requires a good knowledge of spectroscopic parameters Practically, the deduced cross section is a lower limit for the total inelastic cross section model prediction Lk gs 0 A Li X
4 Method Three methods to measure (n,xn) cross-sections : - activation - neutron detection - prompt gamma spectroscopy Measured (n,xnγ) cross section Theoretical model for (n,xn) Spectroscopic Parameters Total (n,xn) cross section Measure as many (n,xnγ) transitions as possible (n,n') JEFF keV TALYS 103keV TALYS Total 238(n,n') cross-section 238 (n,n'γ) Eγ=45 kev (1er niv.) 238 (n,n'γ) Eγ=103 kev (2e niv.)
5 Experimental area IRMM, Geel, Belgium Pulsed electron beam on neutron production target (ranium) Bremsstrahlung (photofission; gamma flash) Wide energy-range neutron beam (few ev to 20MeV) FP16 30m
6 Experimental set-up Fission chamber (neutron flux determination) Sample (nucleus of interest) Germanium planar detectors (prompt gamma spectroscopy) Pulsed beam (800 Hz) Digital data acquisition (100 MHz): gamma energy Time of Flight (ToF) measurement 1.5 m beam
7 Data analysis Identify reaction rays Extract Nγ as a function of ToF radioactivity (n,n'γ) Gamma flash
8 Cross-section For one detector (at a given angle), for one gamma transition: N FC N 235 d n,xn = n,f d NFP 235 N sample Angle-integrated information using Gauss quadrature ncertainty sources : Number of counts (Ng, NFP)... ~1-20 % Efficiencies... ~1-2 % Neutrons loss... ~1 % Dead-time & pile-up... < 1 % Fission cross-section... < 1 % N ~ 0.5 % Samples figures : Total uncertainty budget (optimum) ~ 3 %
9 Challenges Number of target nuclei Apparent density of ranium samples ~ g/cm3 (pure metal : 19 g/cm3) Oxydation: O2, 3O8? Layers or bulk? simulations transmission measurements target laboratory (possibly destructive) methods
10 Challenges Weak transitions (low xs, high internal conversion) high statistics Over 1200 hours of beam time 238 raw data 238 corrected data Systematic gain correction
11 Challenges ToF determination for low amplitude signals «shift» corrected for Eγ < 150keV
12 Challenges 235 : peaks overlap (radio + FP) Example of 235(n,n γ) for Eγ = kev fit procedures (Root, gf3...)
13 Challenges 238 : first level de-excitation Crucial, but transition highly subject to internal conversion (α ~ 610)
