"Towards the high-accuracy determination of the ²³⁸U fission cross section at the threshold region at CERN - n_TOF";

The ²³⁸U fission cross section is an international standard beyond 2 MeV where the fission plateau starts. However, due to its importance in fission reactors, this cross-section should be very accurately known also in the threshold region below 2 MeV. The ²³⁸U fission cross section has been measured relative to the ²³⁵U fission cross section at CERN - n_TOF with different detection systems. These datasets have been collected and suitably combined to increase the counting statistics in the threshold region from about 300 keV up to 3 MeV. The results are compared with other experimental data, evaluated libraries, and the IAEA standards.
