Measurement and analysis of the ²⁴¹Am(n, γ) cross section with liquid scintillator detectors using time-of-flight spectroscopy at the n_TOF facility at CERN

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²⁴¹Am(n, γ), E=0.02 eV-150 keV; measured Eγ, E(n), Iγ, I(n), thermal capture σ, capture yield using C₆D₆ scintillators for γ detection, and Si detectors and MicroMegas chambers for neutron fluence, TOF spectrometry at n_TOF facility in CERN. ²⁴²Am; deduced 362 n-resonances in the resolved region up to 320 eV, σ(E) for unresolved resonance region up to 150 keV, J, Γ_γ, Γ_n, R-matrix analysis using SAMMY code. Porter-Thomas distribution for s-wave resonances. Comparison with previous experimental data, and with evaluated libraries.
