The n_TOF facility at CERN is operational since 2001, and provides neutron-induced cross section data of interest to several research fields, including nuclear astrophysics. The neutron time-of-flight (TOF) facility features three experimental areas located at different distances from the pulsed neutron source. Two beam lines at nominal distance of 185 and 19 m are especially equipped for TOF experiments. A third station at approximately 3 meters from the neutron source was conceived for irradiation and activation measurements. So far, neutron-induced cross sections for more than 100 isotopes have been measured.
