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 gamma- ray imaging capability for background suppression, and the development of an array of small-volume organic scintilla tors 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.", optnote="WOS:000926364900001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5479), last updated on Mon, 06 Mar 2023 07:43:37 +0000", issn="1434-6001", doi="10.1140/epja/s10050-022-00876-7", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.02163", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epja/s10050-022-00876-7", language="English" }
