Probing electron transport and thermodynamic properties in expanded warm dense matter

The expanded warm dense matter regime, an intermediate state between condensed matter and high-energy-density plasma at low density, remains poorly constrained experimentally, particularly regarding transport properties across the metal-to-nonmetal transition. Here, we explore ex...

Neutron elastic scattering at $$\varvec{30.8}$$ MeV on $$\varvec{^{\text {nat}}\textrm{Ce}}$$

Abstract Elastic scattering of fast neutrons at an incident energy of 30.8 MeV on a natural cerium target was measured during an experiment conducted at the Neutrons For Science facility at GANIL-SPIRAL2. This is the first measurement on cerium using incident neutron energy above...
