MULTIGROUP NEUTRON DATA FOR DEUTERIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4192171
Computations are presented which were designed to provide input data on deuterium for use with multigroup computing codes. The quantities examined and tabulated are the elastic scattering cross section, the radiative capture cross section, the disintegration cross section the Legendre polynomial coefficient for 1 = 1 of the angular distribution of scattered neutrons in the laboratory system, and the mean lethargy gain for elastic collisions. The values of the various input quanities are the lethargy (u = ln(l0/E)) averages taken over a group interval.The cross sections were derived from experiments when possible with extrapolations based on knowledge of theoretical behavior.
