"The 237Np(n,f) cross section at the CERN n_TOF facility";
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1377 (2011), 459 - 462.



English abstract:
The 237Np(n,f) cross sections have been measured at the n‐TOF facility relative to the 235U and 238U fission cross sections. The n_TOF spallation neutron source at CERN is characterized by a high intensity flux, an excellent time resolution and an extensive neutron energy range (from eV to GeV). A fast ionization chamber was used as a fission fragment detector with efficiency better than 97%. Preliminary 237Np(n,f) cross sections have been deduced in the energy range from 20 keV to 10 MeV and are found in good agreement with data from literature.
