GRAPhEME: Performances, achievements (@EC-JRC/GELINA) and future (@GANIL/SPIRAL2/NFS)

Résumé

GRAPhEME is a γ-spectrometer developed by CNRS/IPHC Strasbourg (France), in collaboration with EC-JRC Geel (Belgium) and IFIN-HH Bucharest (Romania). With its 6 High Purity Planar Germanium detectors and one fission chamber, GRAPhEME, installed at the EC-JRC GELINA facility, was optimized for measurements of accurate ( n , xnγ ) cross sections on actinides. The experimental methodology is based on the prompt γ-ray spectroscopy coupled to time-of-flight measurements. In this paper, we present an overview of fifteen years of experiments with GRAPhEME at EC-JRC GELINA facility, illustrated by main achievements to highlight the performances reached by our spectrometer. Beyond the experimental work, a close collaboration with theoreticians has emerged allowing the use of the data produced with GRAPhEME to test and constraint nuclear reaction codes like TALYS, CoH and EMPIRE. In a near future, GRAPhEME will be available to start measurement campaigns at the new neutron beam facility SPIRAL2/NFS. There, studies of ( n , 2 n ) and ( n , 3 n ) reactions will be possible and will complete the work done at EC-JRC GELINA on ( n , n ) reactions. Despite the amount of cross section data provided by GRAPhEME up to now, the prompt γ -ray spectroscopy method presents some weaknesses that our collaboration tries to overcome. This goes through new calculation schemes based on theoretical modeling constrained on experimental data to infer the total ( n , xn ) cross section, new instrument to measure conversion electrons but also by being proactive in dissemination activities to make the nuclear structure community aware of our needs about new accurate nuclear structure information on actinides.
