Challenging neutron-capture cross-section measurements of small cross sections and samples with a very limited number of atoms require high-flux time-of-flight facilities. In turn, such facilities need innovative detection setups that are fast, have low sensitivity to neutrons, can quickly recover from the so-called $\gamma$-flash, and offer the highest possible detection sensitivity.

Characterization of a detector setup for the measurement of the $^{235}$U(n,f) cross section relative to n-p scattering up to 500 MeV at the n_TOF facility at CERN
/ Manna, A (U. Bologna, DIFA ; INFN, Bologna) ; Pirovano, E (Braunschweig, Phys. Tech. Bund.) ; Colonna, N (INFN, Bari) ; Castelluccio, D (ENEA, Bologna ; INFN, Bologna) ; Camprini, P Console (ENEA, Bologna ; INFN, Bologna) ; Cosentino, L (INFN, LNS) ; Dietz, M (Braunschweig, Phys. Tech. Bund.) ; Ducasse, Q (Braunschweig, Phys. Tech. Bund.) ; Finocchiaro, P (INFN, LNS) ; Naour, C Le (Orsay, IPN) et al.
The measurement of the $^{235}$U(n,f) reaction cross section in the neutron energy region 10 MeV to 500 MeV was carried out at the CERN n_TOF facility. The experimental campaign, completed in 2018, provided precise and accurate data on the fission reaction relative to neutron-proton elastic scattering. [...]

Multi-section fission ionization chamber for measurement of 239Pu(n,γ) reaction in fission tagging method
/ Perkowski, J (Lodz U.) ; Alcayne, V (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Andrzejewski, J (Lodz U.) ; Cano-Ott, D (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Gawlik-Ramięga, A (Lodz U.) ; Mendoza, E (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Sánchez-Caballero, A (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Sibbens, G (Geel, JRC) ; Vanleeuw, D (Geel, JRC) ; Aberle, O (CERN) et al.
The 239Pu(n,γ) reaction cross section is very important for operation of both thermal and fast reactors, when loaded with MOX fuels. According to the NEA/OECD High Priority Request List the precision of cross section data for this reaction should be improved. [...]

Pushing the high count rate limits of scintillation detectors for challenging neutron-capture experiments

(Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Cano-Ott, D. (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; González-Romero, E. (Madrid, CIEMAT) et al.
One of the critical aspects for the accurate determination of neutron capture cross sections when combining time-of-flight and total energy detector techniques is the characterization and control of systematic uncertainties associated to the measuring devices. In this work we explore the most conspicuous effects associated to harsh count rate conditions: dead-time and pile-up effects. [...]
