Abstract

The Neutrons for Science (NFS) facility will be one of the first installations of the SPIRAL2 facility. NFS will be composed of a time-of-flight baseline and irradiation stations and will allow studying neutron-induced reactions for energies going from some hundreds of keV up to 40 MeV. Continuous and quasi-monoenergetic energy neutron beams will be available.

Highlights

  • SPIRAL2 is an intense radioactive beam facility under construction at GANIL in Caen (France)

  • Neutrons for Science (NFS) will be composed of a time-of-flight baseline and irradiation stations and will allow studying neutron-induced reactions for energies going from some hundreds of keV up to 40 MeV

  • The NFS facility designed for the production of intense pulsed neutron beams of energy going from some hundreds of keV up to 40 MeV is under construction at GANIL

Summary

Introduction

SPIRAL2 is an intense radioactive beam facility under construction at GANIL in Caen (France). Studies for the optimisation of some components are presented Thanks to this new neutron facility, fundamental physics and nuclear data measurements in an energy domain not yet exploited will become possible. Fission fragment yields and neutron multiplicity data are of particular interest for the nuclear data community in view of the development of fast reactor technology and of reactors dedicated to the incineration of minor. Results of simulations are exposed and expected mass resolutions are discussed
