Main Auditorium (CIEMAT)

139. Presentation of TOF-DONES

Emilio Mendoza Cembranos (CIEMAT)

TOF-DONES is a high intensity neutron time-of-flight facility designed for IFMIF-DONES. The idea is to extract, in a pulsed way, 0.1% of the deuteron beam and send it to room R026. There, the deuteron pulses will impact a target, possibly made of graphite or berillium, generating neutrons. These neutrons will then travel along different time-of-flight beam lines in vacuum to the experimental...

135. The n_TOF Facility at CERN: A Quarter Century of Unique Contributions to Neutron Physics

Prof. Nikolaos Patronis (CERN & University of Ioannina - Greece)

13/10/26, 16:05

In this contribution, the n_TOF facility at CERN will be presented, with emphasis on the unique characteristics that make it a leading neutron time-of-flight facility worldwide.

The integration of n_TOF within the CERN ecosystem and the strategic advantages this positioning offers will be discussed, including access to world-class infrastructure, expertise, and collaborative networks....

144. Key Nuclear Data Needs for Fusion Applications: A Selective Review

Dr. Yuefeng Qiu (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

13/10/26, 16:30

Nuclear data underpin the design and analysis of fusion systems. Nuclear analyses provide key performance metrics — tritium production, heat deposition, material irradiation, and radiation distributions — through simulations based on fusion-relevant nuclear data, including neutron transport, activation, and displacement cross sections, and gas production data. This talk offers a review of...

128. Scintillator-based fast neutron diagnostics systems and neutron/gamma discrimination studies at the ToF-DONES

Dr. Agnieszka Syntfeld-Kazuch (National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ))

13/10/26, 16:55

The Radiation Detectors and Plasma Diagnostics Division at the National Centre for Nuclear Research has been conducting research on scintillation detectors for neutron–gamma discrimination for over two decades. The team’s recent work included characterization of the Organic Glass Scintillator (OGS) and evaluation of its neutron–gamma discrimination performance compared to organic scintillators...
