1002004 002_He_004 ENDF/B-VII CONVERTED FROM ENDF/B-VI BY NNDC OCT 2004 ENDF/B-VII.1 beta; G.M.Hale; LANL ; September 2010:
The evaluation done originally by Nisley et al in 1973 has been
updated to include the results of a more recent R-matrix analysis.
The 1973 analysis was based on a simultaneous fit of n-alpha and
p-alpha scattering data. The newer analysis (8/06) is a multi-
channel fit to data for the n-alpha and d-t reactions that extends
to about 24 MeV excitation energy in the 5He system. Although this
is well above the d+t threshold, for the present, we give n-alpha
data only over the original range up to 20 MeV, where it is single
channel scattering. However, the results below the d+t threshold
are constrained by the data at higher energies through the
R-matrix parameterization, and they are therefore better
determined than those of a single-channel analysis.
In addition, covariances (MF=33) are given for MT=2, calculated
from the parameter covariances and derivatives from the 5He
analysis. It should be noted that while the rank of this
covariance matrix is 115, corresponding to the number of free
parameters in the fit, it is given at 152 energies. This means
that in principle some of the zero eigenvalues could have small
negative values due to the limited precision of the numbers in the
file and the matrix is not guaranteed to be positive semi-
definite. ENDF/B-VI MOD1 Revision, January 2001, P.G. Young and
