SREFT, a new TPC for neutron-induced fission and light charged-particle cross-section measurements

The Spatially Resolved Fission Tracker (SREFT) is a time projection chamber under development at Los Alamos National Laboratory. SREFT is following the conclusion of successful operation of the Neutron Induced Fission Fragment Tracking Experiment (NIFFTE) TPC, a decadal effort to precisely measure major actinide fission cross-section ratios. SREFT leverages much of that operational experience while making heavy use commercially available hardware to cost-effectively measure minor actinide neutron-induced fission and light charged-particle reaction cross sections (i.e n,a) for a variety of sponsors. In this talk I will discuss the various design aspects of SREFT, present our most recent commissioning data, and discuss planned measurements at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE).
