This study computationally evaluates a hybrid nuclear fuel cycle in which partially depleted fuel pebbles from a compact maritime Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR) are transferred to a larger terrestrial FHR for continued utilization. Neutronic behavior is analyzed using a high-fidelity Monte Carlo framework: the Hyper-Fidelity (HxF) tool models detailed depletion in the...

designing experimental setups and subsequent analysis. There already
exists many Monte Carlo simulation programs to simulate the physics.
However, a method to convert the simulated data to mimic the DAQ
output removes the need to use measured data to test the analysis
software. This makes it possible to prepare the... -

The need for accurate nuclear data is crucial for the nuclear power industry, and with the Swedish plans to invest in new Gen IV nuclear power plants, there is a further need for new nuclear data regarding the processes involved in these new reactor concepts. Together with experimental data, simulated nuclear data is an important tool for nuclear research. The nuclear reaction code TALYS has a...

In nuclear engineering, a criticality event is an instance in which a chain reaction reaches a state of self-sustenance. Criticality safety involves preventing inadvertent criticality events by managing factors such as material composition, geometric configuration, and neutron interactions. Thus, the quality and success of criticality safety analyses inherently depend on how well nuclear data,...

In the period 2022-2025, four experimental campaigns were carried out at the 9 MW tandem accelerator of IFIN-HH using the large-volume LaBr$_3$:Ce and CeBr$_3$ detectors of the ELIGANT-GN array, which were placed in the...

Recent research suggests that neutron fluctuations in combination with feedback effects might have a non-negligible impact on the neutron distribution in nuclear reactors. This phenomenon can be analysed with statistical physics by using methods from quantum field theory. In this presentation, I will give an overview of previous research and our plan for how to improve the theoretical model....

on behalf of CBM and "QCD at FAIR"
The strong interaction between baryons at low energies is a key ingredient for understanding the emergence of nuclear matter from Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Among other topics, the “QCD at FAIR” program at FAIR aims to explore strongly interacting matter with versatile experimental setups, e.g. CBM and HADES, using hadronic and electromagnetic probes,...

The European Spallation Source (ESS), currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will provide the most intense pulsed neutron beam in the world. To make use of this unique infrastructure, the two-stage HIBEAM/NNBAR program [1,2] proposes to use neutron beamlines for precision studies of fundamental symmetries. While one of its principal goals is the first search in more than three decades...

The nucleosynthesis of elements heavier than iron remains an open question in nuclear astrophysics. In the last decade, the intermediate (i) neutron-capture process has attracted attention as a potential explanation for observed abundance patterns in for example the old halo stars in our Galaxy, that cannot be reproduced by the slow and rapid processes. Understanding the i-process requires...

The samarium isotopic chain provides us with an opportunity to study how the statistical properties, such as the nuclear level density (NLD) and $\gamma$-ray strength function ($\gamma$SF), are effected by deformation.
In 2018, an experiment was carried out at the Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory where we studied the $^{152}$Sm$(p,p^\prime\gamma)^{152}$Sm and ...

The atomic nucleus exhibits a vast variety of configurations, and despite over a century of study since its discovery, a unified theoretical description of nuclear structure remains incomplete [1]. Progress in this field relies critically on new experimental data from regions of the nuclear chart that remain largely unexplored. One such key region lies in the immediate vicinity of the doubly...

The low-energy enhancement (LEE) of the dipole γ-ray strength function has been observed in many nuclei, yet its microscopic origin remains debated. We investigate the LEE in $^{50}$V using large-scale shell-model calculations that treat electric and magnetic dipole transitions consistently within a single framework. Calculations are performed in a sd–pf–sdg valence space with a $1\hbar\omega$...
