Total fission cross sections induced by deuterons with energies 1.6, 2.5 and 4.0 GeV on 232Th targets and by protons on natPb targets at energy 2.0 GeV were measured during irradiations at the Nuclotron accelerator, JINR, Dubna. Using Solid State Nuclear Track detectors, the fission cross sections induced by deuterons on 232Th were determined as 1277±216, 1232±207 and 1153±198 mb, corresponding to the energies mentioned above. The total fission cross section of protons on natPb was estimated by the same method as 131±30 mb. These results were compared to the previous systematic parameterization of proton induced fission and new values for the parameters of deuteron-induce fission on actinides, 232Th and 238U and proton induced fission on natPb were deduced. Fitting results obtained for deuterons on actinides are discussed and compared to results for protons.

The neutron induced fission of 235U is extensively used as a reference for neutron fluence measurements in various applications, ranging from the investigation of the biological effectiveness of high energy neutrons, to the measurement of high energy neutron cross sections of relevance for accelerator driven nuclear systems. Despite its widespread use, no data exist on neutron induced fission of 235U above 200 MeV. The neutron facility n_TOF offers the possibility to improve the situation. The measurement of 235U(n,f) relative to the differential n-p scattering cross-section, was carried out in September 2018 with the aim of providing accurate and precise cross section data in the energy range from 10 MeV up to 1 GeV. In such measurements, Recoil Proton Telescopes (RPTs) are used to measure the neutron flux while the fission events are detected and counted with dedicated detectors. In this paper the measurement campaign and the experimental set-up are illustrated.

The fission cross-section of 234U was measured at incident neutron energies between 300 and 500 keV and 4 and 5 MeV with a setup based on “microbulk” MicroMegas detectors. The standard 235,238U fission cross-sections were used as reference. The neutron beams were produced via the 7Li(p,n) and the 2H(d,n) reactions at the neutron beam facility of the 5.5 MeV Tandem accelerator laboratory at NCSR “Demokritos”. The mass of the actinide content of the targets used and of their impurities was quantitatively determined via α – spectroscopy. The developed methodology and preliminary results are presented.

Abstract Using modern multiloop calculation methods, we derive the analytical expressions for the total cross sections of the processes e−γ →$$ {e}^{-}X\overline{X} $$ e − X X ¯ with X = μ, γ or e at arbitrary energies. For the first two processes our results are expressed via classical polylogarithms. The cross section of e−γ → e−e−e+ is represented as a one-fold integral of complete elliptic integral K and logarithms. Using our results, we calculate the threshold and high-energy asymptotics and compare them with available results.
