Neutron total and capture cross section of Tungsten isotopes

A new set of measurements for the total and capture cross section determination of W isotopes was done using GELINA (GEel LINear Accelerator), a neutron Time-Of-Flight facility at the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM). Measuring stations at different flight path lengths were used in order to cover a broad neutron energy range with high resolution demands. Experimental techniques adopted for both transmission and capture measurements are well established using a ⁶Li glass detector and C₆D₆ scintillation arrays as detections systems respectively. As target samples highly enriched ^{182,183,184,186}W metallic discs were used.
