Electronics Irradiation With Neutrons at the NEAR Station of the n_TOF Spallation Source at CERN / Cecchetto, Matteo (CERN) ; Sacristan Barbero, Mario (CERN) ; Lerner, Giuseppe (CERN) ; García Alía, Rubén (CERN) ; Aguiar, Ygor (CERN) ; Senajova, Dominika (CERN) ; Garcia Infantes, Francisco (CERN) ; Pavon Rodriguez, Jose Antonio (CERN) ; Sabate Gilarte, Marta (CERN) ; Vlachoudis, Vasilis (CERN) et al.
We study the neutron field at the NEAR station of the neutron time-of-flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN, through Monte Carlo simulations, well-characterized static random access memories (SRAMs), and radio-photoluminescence (RPL) dosimeters, with the aim of providing neutrons for electronics irradiation. Particle fluxes and typical quantities relevant for electronics testing were simulated for several test positions at NEAR and compared to those at the CERN high-energy accelerator mixed-field facility (CHARM), highlighting similitudes and differences.

First $^{80}$Se(n,$\gamma$) cross section measurement with high resolution in the full stellar energy range 1 eV - 100 keV and its astrophysical implications for the s-process / n_TOF Collaboration
Most elements heavier than iron have been generated in the stellar media by means of neutron capture reactions, approximately half are produced by the slow neutron capture or s-process. Radiative neutron capture cross section measurements are of fundamental importance for the study of this mechanism. [...]
