A new detection concept formeasuring (n, g) crosssectionswithimprovedsensitivity and resolution • Motivation : the204Tl(n,g) case • Origin of backgroundwith C6D6TEDs • AnalternativeapproachforTEDswithimprovedpeak-to-background ratio • Preliminarysimulations • Conclusions & Outlook
Motivation: measurements in largebackgroundconditions weaklevels (of interest) “contaminant” resonances Background level (couldbehigher at EAR2) • Themeasurement of smallsamples, lowCSsorweakresonancesischallengedbythepeak/background ratio, whichdependsbothonthe experimental conditions and onthedetectionsystemused.
