Abstract
- This article presents a fewselected developments and future ideas related to the measurement of (n, γ ) data of astrophysical interest at CERN n_TOF. The MC-aided analysis methodology for the use of low-efficiency radiation detectors in time-of-flight neutron-capture measurements is discussed, with particular emphasis on the systematic accuracy. Several recent instrumental advances are also presented, such as the development of total-energy detectors with γ - ray imaging capability for background suppression, and the development of an array of small-volume organic scintillators aimed at exploiting the high instantaneous neutron-flux of EAR2. Finally, astrophysics prospects related to the intermediate i neutron-capture process of nucleosynthesis are discussed in the context of the new NEAR activation area.<br />European Research Council (ERC) 681740<br />Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN)<br />Instituto de Salud Carlos III<br />Spanish Government PID2019-104714GBC21 FPA2017-83946-C2-1-P FIS2015-71688-ERC FPA-2016-77689-C2-1-R RTI2018-098117-B-C21<br />CSIC PIE-201750I26<br />European H2020 847552
