Abstract

Capture cross‐sections on isotopes relevant to accelerator driven systems for energy production and nuclear waste transmutation, and to stellar nucleosynthesis have been studied at the innovative neutron time of flight facility n_TOF at CERN. The extremely high instantaneous neutron flux and the low background conditions in the experimental area make this facility unique for accurate measurements on low‐mass or radioactive samples. The n_TOF facility is described, together with the features of the experimental apparata used. First results of the experimental campaign 2002–2004 are presented.
