1006000 006_C_000 ENDF/B-VII Modification to MF3 MT102
Capture cross sections up to 20 were replaced by the evaluation
in JENDL-4. The total and non-elastic cross sections were
adjusted by adding the differences in the capture. AFCI MF33 covariance data moved into these materials where there
had been no covariance data. Covariances were estimated at LANL
based on a brief analysis of experimental data and their
agreement with the ENDF/B-VII.0 central values. An exception
is elastic scattering which serves as neutron cross section
standard from 10 eV up to 1.8 MeV, with uncertainties below 1%.
ENDF/B-VI MOD 3 Evaluation, June 1996, M.B. Chadwick and P.G. Young (LANL) INCIDENT NEUTRON ENERGIES < 20 MeV
Below 20 MeV the evaluation is based completely on the ENDF/B-
VI.1 (Release 1) evaluation by Fu [Fu90]. The following minor
modifications were made to the ENDF/B-VI.1 evaluation:
1. The energy range from En = 20 MeV to 32 MeV was replaced by
the LANL evaluation (described below);
2. The elastic, nonelastic, and total cross sections from 19 to
20 MeV were varied to join smoothly with the higher energy
values at 20 MeV.
3. The new flag, LTT=3, is used in MF=4,MT=2 to indicate that
Legendre polynomials are used below 20 MeV and probability
tabulations at higher energies. A small discontinuity exists for
MF=4,MT=2 at 20 MeV where the two different representations join.
The higher energy evaluation utilizes a tabulation in order to
overcome the inaccuracies caused by the ENDF-6 limitation of 20
for the maximum number of Legendre coefficients. INCIDENT NEUTRON ENERGIES > 20 MeV (12C analysis)
The evaluation above 20 MeV utilizes MF=6, MT=5 to represent
all reaction data. Production cross sections and emission
spectra are given for neutrons, protons, deuterons, alpha
particles, gamma rays, and all residual nuclides produced (A>5)
in the reaction chains.
