Abstract

At the n_TOF experiment at CERN a dedicated single-crystal chemical

vapor deposition (sCVD) Diamond Mosaic-Detector has been developed for

(n,αα)

cross-section measurements. The detector, characterized by an excellent

time and energy resolution, consists of an array of 9 sCVD diamond

diodes. The detector has been characterized and a cross-section

measurement has been performed for the ⁵⁹Ni(n,αα)⁵⁶Fe

reaction in 2012. The characteristics of the detector, its performance

and the promising preliminary results of the experiment are presented.
