Description
Neutron-induced nuclear reactions, a substantial part of the more
generic notion of nuclear data, are important for a variety of research
fields, going from stellar nucleosynthesis, basic nuclear physics, to
nuclear technology to applications in dosimetry, medicine, and space
science. Accelerator-based neutron sources play a major role in
experimental studies for the determination of reaction cross sections
spanning a wide energy range from sub-thermal to GeV energies. A number
of present and upcoming neutron time-of-flight and mono-energetic
facilities will be discussed and illustrated by examples of measurements
for nuclear astrophysics and nuclear technology.
