GRAPhEME: Performances, achievements (@EC-JRC/GELINA) and future (@GANIL/SPIRAL2/NFS) by Kerveno Maëlle, Borcea Catalin, Boromiza Marian, Capote Roberto, Claeys François, Dari Bako Nicolas, De Saint Jean Cyrille, Dessagne Philippe, Drohé Jean Claude, Dupuis Marc, Henning Greg, Hilaire Stéphane, Kawano Toshihiko, Negret Alexandru, Nyman Markus, Olacel Adina, Paradela Carlos, Plompen Arjan, Wynants Ruud

“…With its 6 High Purity Planar Germanium detectors and one fission chamber, GRAPhEME, installed at the EC-JRC GELINA facility, was optimized for measurements of accurate (n, xnγ) cross sections on actinides. The experimental methodology is based on the prompt γ-ray spectroscopy coupled to time-of-flight measurements. …”

Microscopic modeling of direct pre-equilibrium emission: Impact on exclusive and inclusive (n,xn) and fission channels by Dupuis Marc, Capote Roberto, Kawano Toshihiko, Kerveno Maëlle, Dessagne Philippe, Henning Grégoire, Hilaire Stéphane

“…Pre-equilibrium predictions and their impact on inclusive and exclusive (n,xn) cross sections and fission cross sections are discussed for actinides. We discuss the importance of i) collective excitations to describe the neutron emission spectra and of ii) spin distribution of the residual nucleus formed after the neutron pre-equilibrium emission, that is a key ingredient to model the residual nucleus decay.…”
