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

  1. Brookhaven National Lab., Upton, NY (United States)

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 and fission cross sections vary as the reciprocal of the neutron`s velocity. Values are presented as a function of temperature up to 400{degrees}C.
