This Project Grant award from the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Stewardship Science Grant Program (CFDA 81.112) provides $300,000 in funding to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac to conduct research aimed at indirectly measuring neutron capture cross-sections. The goal is to develop a novel particle-absorption reaction technique to determine these cross-sections, which are critical for understanding nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship. Specifically, the research will utilize simultaneous measurement of (P, γ) and (P, n) reactions to indirectly derive (n, γ) cross-sections. The project also explores the possibility of measuring (α, n) reactions near the neutron emission threshold to further constrain (n, γ) cross-section data. This work is intended to provide a benchmark for recent surrogate method research in support of national security objectives. The project period runs from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028.
