# Implications of $^{151}$Sm(n,$\gamma$) Cross Section at n_TOF

Abstract : The accurate knowledge of the $^{151}$Sm(n,$\gamma$) cross section has important implications for the nuclear technologies as well as for fundamental studies. Due to its radioactivity, the only experimental data available on $^{151}$Sm were derived from a transmission measurement. Nowadays thanks to the innovative features of neutron time-of-flight facility (n_TOF), it was possible to measure $^{151}$Sm(n,$\gamma$) cross section in a wide energy range and with good accuracy. We present, here, the main experimental results together with the implications concerning the nuclear astrophysical part.
