Abstract

The neutron capture cross section of ⁵⁴Fe has been measured with 0.2% energy resolution from 2.5 to 500 keV. A large and significant correlation is observed between the s-wave reduced neutron widths and the corresponding total radiative widths. The valence model readily accounts for this correlations as well as over half the average value of the s-wave radiative widths.

Evaluation of Neutron Reactions on Iron Isotopes for CIELO and ENDF/B-VIII.0
2018, Nuclear Data Sheets
A new suite of evaluations for ^54,56,57,58Fe has been developed in the framework of the CIELO international collaboration. New resolved resonance ranges were evaluated for ⁵⁴Fe and ⁵⁷Fe, while modifications were applied to resonances in ⁵⁶Fe. The low energy part of the ⁵⁶Fe file is almost totally based on measurements. At higher energies in ⁵⁶Fe and in the whole fast neutron range for minor isotopes the evaluation consists of model predictions carefully adjusted to available experimental data. We also make use of the high quality and well experimentally-constrained dosimetry evaluations from the IRDFF library. Special attention was dedicated to the elastic angular distributions, which were found to affect results of the integral benchmarking. The new set of iron evaluations was developed in concert with other CIELO evaluations and they were tested together in the integral experiments before being adopted for the ENDF/B-VIII.0 library.
Determination of Resonance Parameters and their Covariances from Neutron Induced Reaction Cross Section Data
2012, Nuclear Data Sheets
Cross section data in the resolved and unresolved resonance region are represented by nuclear reaction formalisms using parameters which are determined by fitting them to experimental data. Therefore, the quality of evaluated cross sections in the resonance region strongly depends on the experimental data used in the adjustment process and an assessment of the experimental covariance data is of primary importance in determining the accuracy of evaluated cross section data. In this contribution, uncertainty components of experimental observables resulting from total and reaction cross section experiments are quantified by identifying the metrological parameters involved in the measurement, data reduction and analysis process. In addition, different methods that can be applied to propagate the covariance of the experimental observables (i.e. transmission and reaction yields) to the covariance of the resonance parameters are discussed and compared. The methods being discussed are: conventional uncertainty propagation, Monte Carlo sampling and marginalization. It is demonstrated that the final covariance matrix of the resonance parameters not only strongly depends on the type of experimental observables used in the adjustment process, the experimental conditions and the characteristics of the resonance structure, but also on the method that is used to propagate the covariances. Finally, a special data reduction concept and format is presented, which offers the possibility to store the full covariance information of experimental data in the EXFOR library and provides the information required to perform a full covariance evaluation.
Calculations of Maxwellian-averaged cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates using the ENDF/B-VII.0, JEFF-3.1, JENDL-3.3, and ENDF/B-VI.8 evaluated nuclear reaction data libraries
2010, Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables
We have calculated the Maxwellian-averaged cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates of the stellar nucleosynthesis reactions (n, γ), (n, fission), (n, p), (n, α), and (n, 2n) using the ENDF/B-VII.0, JEFF-3.1, JENDL-3.3, and ENDF/B-VI.8 evaluated nuclear reaction data libraries. These four major nuclear reaction libraries were processed under the same conditions for Maxwellian temperatures (kT) ranging from 1 keV to 1 MeV. We compare our current calculations of the s-process nucleosynthesis nuclei with previous data sets and discuss the differences between them and the implications for nuclear astrophysics.

New intermediate-energy nuclear data libraries for Fe
2006, Annals of Nuclear Energy
New ENDF-6 formatted nuclear data libraries are presented for ⁵⁴Fe, ⁵⁶Fe, ⁵⁷Fe, and ⁵⁸Fe, for incident neutrons and protons between 0 and 200 MeV. The main objective of this work is to provide a comprehensive and improved description of all nuclear processes in the intermediate-energy range. This is accomplished by means of computational analyses carried out with the nuclear model code TALYS. Apart from the resonance range, which we have adopted from the best available source in existing libraries, the nuclear data files for the less abundant iron isotopes, ⁵⁴Fe, ⁵⁷Fe, and ⁵⁸Fe, are completely new in the whole energy range. The new data library for ⁵⁶Fe is based entirely on the existing JEFF-3.0 library below 20 MeV and extended with TALYS results up to 200 MeV. The most important nuclear reaction models needed for our data files are described. We use a consistent method to store the data in ENDF-6 format, including cross sections, angular distributions, double-differential spectra, discrete and continuum photon production cross sections, and residual production (activation) cross sections including isomers. It is shown that the data present in our libraries give a good agreement with existing basic experimental data. Moreover, we have validated the new libraries with a shielding benchmark.
