Abstract

The innovative feature of the n-TOF facility at CERN, in the two experimental areas, (20 m and 200 m flight paths), allow for an accurate determination of the neutron capture cross section for radioactive samples or for isotopes with small neutron capture cross section, of interest for Nuclear Astrophysics. This contribution presents an overview on the astrophysical program carried on at the n-TOF facility, the main results and their implications.
