High-accuracy determination of the 238U/ 235U fission cross section ratio up to ˜ 1 GeV at n_TOF at CERN

The U238 to U235 fission cross section ratio has been determined at n_TOF up to ˜1 GeV, with two different detection systems, in different geometrical configurations. A total of four datasets has been collected and compared. They are all consistent to each other within the relative systematic uncert...
