Over the last decades, antineutrino experiments conducted at short and long baselines from nuclear reactors and using detection techniques based on the inverse β-decay (IBD) have revealed a systematic and significant deficit of detected antineutrinos compared to the predicted fluxes. Besides this flux discrepancy, called the reactor antineutrino anomaly (RAA), a difference in the shape of the measured spectra compared to state-of-the-art predictions has been observed. No evidence for an experimental bias has so far been detected as the origin of these discrepancies, and the interpretation of the reactor antineutrino anomaly as a neutrino oscillation with a sterile neutrino state is currently disfavored by recent very short baseline reactor experiments. The validity of the predictions is also questioned as the source of the observed discrepancies, and has motivated a revision of the modelings of reactor antineutrino spectra. In this context, a revisited prediction has been developed and is presented in this PhD dissertation. In a nuclear reactor, antineutrinos are typically emitted during the β-decays of the products originating from the fission of four actinides making up more than 99% of the thermal power released in the core (²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, ²³⁹Pu, ²⁴¹Pu). During a beta decay, an excited nucleus ejects in correlation an electron and an antineutrino. The total emission probability and the energy spectra associated to each of these two particles are characteristic of the parent and daughter nuclei, and depend on their nuclear and atomic structures. The antineutrino spectrum emitted by a reactor core then results from the superposition of thousands of β spectra. The revised prediction is based on the summation method which consists in modeling each of these β transitions. An advanced modeling of the β-decay theory has been used to include various effects due to the Coulomb interaction between the emitted electron and the daughter nucleus through a numerical treatment. The latest evaluated nuclear data are used to model the thousands β-decays contributing to a reactor antineutrino spectrum, including the most recent data from total absorption gamma spectroscopy measurements. A thorough propagation of the uncertainties associated to both the modeling and the nuclear data evaluation has also been investigated, allowing to produce a consistent and conservative uncertainty budget for the revisited spectra. The new summation modeling is finally compared with other state-of-the-art predictions, and its improvements and limitations are discussed in regards to IBD datasets from recent short and long baseline reactor experiments.

Since the 1970s, the study of the ß shape has been limitedly investigated and there is a growing interest from several users such as ionising radiation metrology, nuclear medicine, nuclear energy, and from fundamental physics. The existing databases are incomplete and lack of accuracy to meet their requirements. In this thesis, a precise ß spectrometer in a quasi-4π geometry is developed based on two silicon detectors in sandwich with a radioactive source. Different source preparation techniques and their influence on the shape ß of the spectrum are studied. The device is characterised using the conversion electron of 109Cd and 207Bi decays, and the ß spectra from 14C, 36Cl, 99Tc and 204Tl decays are studied. An unfolding method is developed to correct the minimised distortions based on PENELOPE Monte Carlo simulations. The response function of the system is built from mono-energetic simulations and the measured spectra are unfolded by applying the matrix inversion method. Finally, the resulting spectra are compared with some high precision measurements performed with Metallic Magnetic Calorimeters, showing excellent agreement in the common energy range.

Isotopic analysis of actinides is necessary for fuel cycle management, non-proliferation treaty control or environmental monitoring. The accuracy of these analyses may be limited by the performance of the detector used but also by the uncertainties associated with the emission intensities available in the nuclear data tables. The disintegration of actinides is generally followed by intense X-ray and gamma photon emissions in the energy range below 100 keV. Their detection may be of particular interest for actinide analysis. However, conventional measurement techniques do not allow to properly separate the lines of the considered emissions. This thesis was devoted to the measurement of intensities using a cryogenic detector. The latter is based on a magnetic metallic calorimeter (MMC) that measures energy deposition as a temperature rise. The MMC, called SMX3, has four pixels and is specifically designed for high resolution X-ray and gamma spectrometry in the energy range below 100 keV to measure actinide emission intensities. In addition to the high resolution provided by SMX3 through its operating principle, this detector has a constant detection efficiency and almost equal to 100% over the energy range below 25 keV, where actinides' XL rays are emitted.The SMX3 yield curve was calibrated by a method that consists of a single standard source measurement of Am-241 combined with Monte Carlo simulations. The three actinides Pu-238, Pu-239, and Cm-244 were measured to provide absolute and relative intensities of Li-Yj emissions (with Y=L,M,N,O,P i=1,2,3 and j=1..7). Thanks to the very high energy resolution of the MMC, the individual XL lines of actinides can be separated. Satellite lines are also detected, their intensities relative to the diagram lines depend on the isotope according to the fundamental atomic parameters. The intensities of the individual XL lines could be determined for the first time, especially for the transitions L₁-L₃. In addition, the intensities of the XLi regions (i=1,2,3) were established. The intensities of the overall XL and XL groups are compared with the calculations and experimental data available in the literature.

In France, the references associated to the neutron fluence and the deriva-ted dosimetric quantities are under the responsability of the micro-irradiation and neutronmetrology and dosimetry laboratory (LMDN)of IRSN. In order to improve the definition ofreferences in fluence and energy of the monoenergetic neutron fields, produced at AMANDEfacility, a micro-TPC gaseous detector, called LNE-IRSN-MIMAC, is developping in collabo-ration with LPSC.In a previous work, the detector was qualified for neutron fields in the energy rangebetween 27 keV and 565 keV. The objective of the present work is to extend the range of theμTPC above 1 MeV. The choice of the gas, the development of an analysis method and thedetector characterization allowed to validate the detector capacity to perform measurements inmonoenergetic neutron fields ranging from 250 keV up to 6,5 MeV with a relative uncertaintyof 3% and 2,5% respectively in energy and fluence.
