A radioactive crossroads: n_TOF measurement validates a key reaction in the molybdenum-94 puzzle
The first experimental determination of neutron capture by niobium-94 at energies relevant to stellar nucleosynthesis confirms the scale of earlier theoretical predictions, rules out this reaction as the source of a longstanding discrepancy and strengthens our understanding of molybdenum production in ageing stars.

Highlights of the n_TOF 2022 data taking run
Highlights of the n_TOF 2022 data taking run The outcome of the first year of data-taking after LS2 [1] was fruitful for n_TOF. The long beam-on period, along with the establishment of a third experimental area, the NEAR Station, resulted in a wealth of new experimental data taken at the facility. Thanks to the excellent

n_TOF restarts its experimental programme
n_TOF restarts its experimental programme Following the installation of the new spallation target during LS2 and the successful commissioning during the 2021 run [1,2], the n_TOF Collaboration started in March, this year, an intense experimental programme for all three experimental areas of the facility. The n_TOF core experimental programme is the measurement of neutron induced

PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE PROGRAMS OF THE n_TOF EXPERIMENT
PRESENT STATUS AND FUTURE PROGRAMS OF THE n_TOF EXPERIMENT High precision neutron cross-‐section data are of major importance for a wide variety of research fields in basic and applied nuclear physics [1]. In particular, neutron data on neutron-‐nucleus reactions are essential in Nuclear Astrophysics for understanding the production rate of heavy elements in the Universe,
