In addition, beta-delayed neutrons are essential for the control and safety of nuclear reactors. In order to determine the neutron energy spectra and emission probabilities from neutron precursors a MOdular Neutron time-of-flight SpectromeTER (MONSTER) has been proposed for the DESPEC experiment at the future FAIR facility. The design of MONSTER and status of its construction are reported in this work.", optnote="WOS:000305419700013", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1084), last updated on Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:46:36 +0000", issn="1748-0221", doi="10.1088/1748-0221/7/05/C05012", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/7/05/C05012", language="English" }
