Speaker

Dr Daniel Cano Ott (CIEMAT)

Description

The Nuclear Innovation Unit at CIEMAT is a research group with large experience in Monte Carlo simulation of reactors and nuclear facilities with the MCNPX code. Several researchers of the group are members of the GEANT4 collaboration and are responsible of the processing and maintenance of neutron and charged particle nuclear data libraries. From the experimental point of view, several reaserchers have a huge experience in the measurement of neutron induced cross section with gamma calorimeters and in nuetron spectrometry with liquid scintillators. An overview of the capabilities of the group in relation to a nuclear astrophysics program at the LSC will be provided.
