Abstract

This summary provides a brief list of capture cross section metrics for naturally occurring isotopes for review by the Intentional Forensics Venture. This introduction is a companion to the column tabulated data, available in pdf and spreadsheet form. Cross section values for this summary list are taken from ENDF/B-VIII.0 and the development library for ENDF/B-VIII.1, with abundances taken from Nuclear Wallet Cards abundance tables. The cross section metrics are thermal cross section, resonance integral (RI), Maxwellian averaged cross section at 30 keV, and ²⁵²Cf spontaneous fission spectrum averaged cross section. The isotopes are listed in order of Z, then A, with the elemental symbol also reported. This memo gives a brief introduction and overview of the data presented.

Evaluation of the Neutron Data Standards

Journal Article Carlson, A.; Pronyaev, V.; Capote, R.; ... - Nuclear Data Sheets

With the need for improving existing nuclear data evaluations, (e.g., ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JEFF-3.3 releases) the first step was to evaluate the standards for use in such a library. This new standards evaluation made use of improved experimental data and some developments in the methodology of analysis and evaluation. In addition to the work on the traditional standards, this work produced the extension of some energy ranges and includes new reactions that are called reference cross sections. Since the effort extends beyond the traditional standards, it is called the neutron data standards evaluation. This international effort has produced new evaluations ofmore »« less

Determination of Solar System R-Process Abundances using ENDF/B-VIII.0 and TENDL-2015 libraries

Technical Report Pritychenko, Boris

Recent multi-messenger detection of the binary neutron star merger (GW170817) energized the astrophysical community and encouraged further research for determination of nuclear physics observables. Comprehensive studies of atomic nuclei in the cosmos provide an opportunity for investigating these astrophysical phenomena and acquiring complementary information on stellar nucleosynthesis processes that can be verified using the latest nuclear data. Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF) libraries contain complete collections of reaction cross sections over the energy range relevant to astrophysics, fission yields and decay data. These data collections have been used worldwide in nuclear science, industry and national security applications. There is greatmore »« less

Finalizing the {sup 63}Cu and {sup 65}Cu Resonance Evaluations for the ENDF/B-VIII Release

Journal Article Sobes, Vladimir; Guber, Klaus; Leal, Luiz - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

The resolved resonance region evaluation for the only two natural isotopes of copper ({sup 63}Cu and {sup 65}Cu) was carried out at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in support of the US Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP). The particular interest in the isotope of copper arose because it was linked with poor performance of the Zeus series of integral benchmarks from the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP). Good agreement between the calculated and experimentally measured values for the ICSBEP benchmarks is essential to the NCSP because the ICSBEP benchmarks are used for validationmore »« less
The ¹³⁹La(n,gamma) Cross Section: Key for the Onset of the s-Process

Journal Article Terlizzi, R; Koehler, Paul - Physical Review C

The nuclear resonance parameters and the capture cross section of the neutron magic isotope {sup 139}La have been measured relative to {sup 197}Au in the energy range of 0.6 eV to 9 keV at the neutron time-of-flight (n{_}TOF) facility at CERN. We describe the experimental apparatus and the data analysis procedures, which concerned mainly the efficiency correction by means of the pulse height weighting function technique and the determination of different background components. We extracted the resonance parameters and the main nuclear quantities such as the resonance integral RI=10.8{+-}1.0b, the average {gamma} widths for s and p waves <{Gamma}{sub gamma}>{submore »« less

The {sup 139}La(n,{gamma}) cross section: Key for the onset of the s-process
