Radiative neutron capture cross section of $$^{242}$$Pu measured at n_TOF-EAR1 in the unresolved resonance region up to 600 keV
null null, J. Lerendegui-Marco, C. Guerrero, E. Mendoza et autres
Accurate neutron capture cross sections are essential for the design and operation of fast reactors using MOX fuels. For 242Pu, the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) recommends 8–12% accuracy in the fast energy region (2–500 keV), compared to the current uncertainty of 35%. …
