Neutron induced fission cross section measurements aimed at nuclear technology development

Neutron induced fission cross sections of 233U, 238U, 241Am, 243Am and 245Cm in the energy range between 500 keV and 20 MeV obtained at the n_TOF Neutron Time of Flight facility at CERN (Genève) are presented. Fission fragments had been detected by a gas counter with good discrimination between nuclear fission products and background events. A comparison between the extracted cross sections, previous experimental results and evaluated libraries is reported.
