Title: Estimate of the 9Be(n,el) Cross-section Uncertainties for the ENDL99 and ENDF/B-VII Evaluations

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/921530· OSTI ID:921530

Uncertainties for the ENDL99 and ENDF/B-VII evaluations of the {sup 9}Be (n, el) cross section have been estimated for incident neutron energies up to 20 MeV. The uncertainties were obtained by extracting the spread of the experimental data about the evaluations, using a sophisticated procedure to ensure smoothness of the uncertainty as a function of energy. The technique used to obtain the uncertainties is described briefly in this report, and the resulting error bands are given for the two evaluations.
