Technical note on 16O(n,α) evaluation (Rev. 3)
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
The evaluated 16O(n,α) cross sections in the ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data library remain uncertain because of systematic discrepancies between measured data. The evaluation relies heavily on the inverse reaction, and, in particular, it relies on the recently measured 13C(α,n)16O cross sections reported by Harissopulos in 2005. These cross section values are systematically lower than those previously reported by Bair in 1973. This technical note briefly describes and shows, on the basis of the available experimental information, that the two sets of measured cross sections are consistent
