Nuclear astrophysics, advanced nuclear technology and nuclear structure physics present many cases that require neutron capture reaction data with high precision. In particular, focusing on nuclear astrophysics, refined data are needed for stellar nucleosynthesis, investigation of stellar physical conditions and applications to evaluations of the age of the Universe. New neutron capture measurements were performed at the pulsed neutron time-of-flight n_TOF facility at CERN, where the white neutron energy spectrum ranges from thermal to hundreds of MeV, covering the full energy range of interest for nuclear astrophysics. Moreover, the high instantaneous neutron flux, and the favourable background conditions in the experimental area make this facility unique for high-resolution time-of-flight measurements of neutron-induced reaction cross-sections. The n_TOF Collaboration is presently operating two different experimental set-ups. The first consists of two low-neutron sensitivity C6D6 detectors with the analysis relying on the pulse height weighting technique. In addition, a total absorption calorimeter, consisting of 40 BaF2 crystals covering the whole solid angle, was used. A review of the astrophysical program made at the n_TOF facility, results on selected stable and unstable samples and implications are presented.
