The Neutron Irradiation Station at Notre Dame
ORAL
Abstract
The Neutron Irradiation Station (NIS) at the University of Notre Dame Nuclear Science Laboratory is a facility designed for the production of high-flux monoenergetic neutrons using the reaction 7Li(p,n). Available neutron energies will span from 100 keV to a few MeV and will be utilized for measurements of neutron-induced reaction cross sections, in particular neutron capture reactions with applications in nuclear security and nuclear energy. An overview of the facility will be presented in this talk and preliminary characterization of the neutron flux as a function of angle for various proton energies will be discussed.
