DANCEDANCE is designed to study neutron capture reactions on small quantities, of order 1 mg, of radioactive or rare stable nuclei. These reactions are important in weapons physics, radiochemistry, and element formation in stars. DANCE’s unique 4π geometry allows measurement of the total gamma-ray energy emitted following neutron capture. When compared to existing neutron capture measurements, this enables a significant advance in detector sensitivity and allows a much more accurate understanding of the detection efficiency. Experiments can be done at neutron energies from thermal to about 100 keV.
