We present an experimental determination of the band gap of ThF4 performed by two different techniques. The first measurement was performed by combining x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy. The second measurement exploited the position of the inelastic threshold in reflection electron energy loss...

In this work we report initial studies on a low power Accelerator-Driven System as a possible experimental facility for the measurement of relevant integral nuclear quantities. In particular, we performed Monte Carlo simulations of minor actinides and fission products irradiation and estimated the fission rate within fission chambers in the...

In this paper new version of the6Li-based neutron spectrometer for high flux environments is described. The new spectrometer was built with commercial single crystal Chemical Vapour Deposition diamonds of electronic grade. These crystals feature better charge collection as well as higher radiation hardness. New metal contacts approaching ohmic...

Studies are in progress in order to revisit the status and the potentiality of the Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) as a fusion core in FFHR, taking into account: (i) the recent progress in RFP physics brought by the results of RFX-mod (R = 2, a = 0.46, Ip = 2MA), mainly about MHD modes control, (ii) ...
