Researchers from the University of South China and the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences achieved precise measurements of the 63 Cu(γ, n) reaction cross-section ...

Neutron cross section standards are important in the measurement and evaluation of all other neutron reaction cross sections. Not many cross sections can be defined as absolute - most are measured ...

The strategies foreseen for future development and employment of nuclear power generation underline the use of nuclear energy systems in which the nuclear fuel contains consistent and controlled ...

The Jinping Underground Nuclear Astrophysics (JUNA) collaboration has reported a recent direct measurement of the cross section of a crucial stellar neutron source reaction, 13 C(α,n) 16 O. The study ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...
