Abstract
The future NFS installation will produce high intensity neutron beams from hundreds of keV up to 40 MeV. Taking advantage of this facility, data of particular interest for the nuclear community in view of the development of the fast reactor technology will be measured. The development of an experimental setup called FALSTAFF for a full characterization of actinide fission fragments has been undertaken. Fission fragment isotopic yields and associated neutron multiplicities will be measured as a function of the neutron energy. Based on time-of-flight and residual energy technique, the setup will allow the simultaneous measurement of the complementary fragments velocity and energy. The performances of TOF detectors of FALSTAFF will be presented and expected resolutions for fragment masses and neutron multiplicities, based on realistic simulations, will be shown.
Highlights
A new experimental setup dedicated to the characterization of actinide fission fragments is under development
In addition to the charge, kinetic energy, initial and final mass of both fragments in coincidence, the FALSTAFF setup will allow determining the neutron multiplicity associated to each fragment
A detailed simulation of the apparatus shows that the foreseen experimental setup with already achieved time and space resolutions is able to provide the required precision
Summary
EPJ Web of Conferences of energy and velocity. Neutron multiplicity as a function of the fragment mass may be deduced directly from the difference between initial and final mass.
