"Measurement of the neutron capture cross section of the fissile isotope ²³⁵U with the CERN n_TOF total absorption calorimeter and a fission tagging based on micromegas detectors";

The accuracy on neutron capture cross section of fissile isotopes must be improved for the design of future nuclear systems such as Gen-IV reactors and Accelerator Driven Systems. The High Priority Request List of the Nuclear Energy Agency, which lists the most important nuclear data requirements, includes also the neutron capture cross sections of fissile isotopes such as ^233,235U and ^239,241Pu.
A specific experimental setup has been used at the CERN n TOF facility for the measurement of the neutron capture cross section of ²³⁵U by a set of micromegas fission detectors placed inside a segmented BaF₂ Total Absorption Calorimeter.
