Lawrence Livermore pulsed sphere benchmark analysis of MCNP{trademark} ENDF/B-VI
Twenty-eight Lawrence Livermore pulsed sphere experiments were modeled using MCNP for the purpose of bench- marking the new MCNP ENDF/B-VI data library. The twenty-eight pulsed sphere experiments contain thirty-four of the 124 isotopic or elemental evaluations contained in the new ENDF/B-VI set. The ENDF/B-VI results are compared to experimental neutron time-of-flight data, the results obtained from using ENDF/B-V, and against an additional data set, the MCNP Recommended Library, which includes Los Alamos group T-2 evaluations. The results show that ENDF/B-VI results give better or comparable results in comparison to experiment to ENDF/B-V in many cases, and do not deviate grossly in the other cases.
