The measurements were made in the time-of-flight (TOF) mode, using a neutron chopper installed 0.3 m upstream of the source aperture. The chopper has an opening of 2 degrees and a frequency of 40 Hz.

Recently, at the n_TOF facility at CERN, the possibility has been investigated of a neutron channel which might be able to increase the destruction rate of the isotope Be-7, the precursor of Li-7 ...
