The n+88Zr transmission experiment at DICER at LANSCE
ORAL
Abstract
The new Device for Indirect Capture Experiments on Radionuclides (DICER) installed at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), explores the possibility of determining neutron capture rates through the analysis of transmission data at the resolved resonance region. The synergy between DICER and the Isotope Production Facility (IPF), both at LANSCE, resulted in the measurement of a 88Zr sample (t1/2=83.4 days). A description of the device, the experimental preparation and the exciting results that explain the enormous neutron capture cross section of 88Zr, will be presented.
