1011023 011_Na_023 ENDF/B-VII Only high quality covariance data (MF=32) migrated from ENDF/B-VI.8 (M. Herman). Covariance data for ENDF/B-VII.1
ENDF/B-VI.8 MF32 rel uncertainties adjusted to the those from
the Atlas of Neutron Resonances [1]. Thermal uncertainties for
capture and elastic were added using file 33. Elastic was set
to 5.5%, as half the difference between the thermal value in
this evaluation and the value in the Atlas. The capture thermal
unc was taken from the Atlas.
In the fast neutron region the sensitivity calculations were
performed with the EMPIRE code. The spherical optical model
provided total cross sections and neutron scattering,
Hauser-Feshbach statistical model described the bulk of particle
emission, and the exciton pre-equilibrium model described major
features of fast particle emission at higher incident energies.
Altogether, 21 model parameters were varied. The Bayesian
update procedure was performed by the KALMAN [2] code by taking
into account the sensitivity calculations and selected
experimental data.
ENDF/B-VI MOD 2 Revision, September 2000, S.C.Frankle, R.C.Reedy, P.G.Young (LANL)
The secondary gamma-ray spectrum for radiative capture (MF 12,
MT 102) has been updated using new experimental data.
The previous evaluation (MOD 1: 61 gamma rays) is replaced with
292 discrete gamma rays based on thermal neutron experimental
data. Thermal spectrum assumed to 20 MeV.
The Q-value for radiative capture was also updated in File 3.
Gas production added as MF=3, MT=203,207
Details of these changes are described in Frankle et al. [Fr01]
