Title: Temperature dependence of the Westcott g-factor for neutron capture reactions in ENDF/B-VI

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10184376

The Westcott g-factors, which allow the user to determine reaction rates for nuclear reactions taking place at various temperatures, have been calculated using data from the Evaluated Neutron Nuclear Data library, ENDF-VI. The nuclides chosen have g-factors which are significantly different from unity and result in different reaction rates compared to nuclides whose neutron capture cross section varies as the reciprocal of the neutron`s velocity. Values are presented as a function of temperature up to 400{degrees}C.
