  Resolved resonance region (MLBW formula) : below 0.33 keV       
    Resonance parameters were based on Mughabghab et al./2/ total 
    spin J of some resonances was evaluated by means of a random  
    number method.  Neutron orbital angular momentum L was        
    estimated with a method of Bollinger and Thomas/3/, and       
    finally all resonances were assigned to s-wave ones.  Average 
    radiation width was taken from Mughabghab et al.  A negative  
    resonance was added so as to reproduce the thermal capture    
    cross section given by Mughabghab et al.                      
    **************************************************************
    For JENDL-4.0, total spin J of the 3-eV resonance measured by 
    Alfimenkov et al./21/ was adopted.                            
    **************************************************************
                                                                  
  Unresolved resonance region : 0.330 keV - 100 keV               
    The neutron strength functions, S0, S1 and S2 were calculated 
    with optical model code CASTHY/4/.  The observed level spacing
    was determined to reproduce the capture cross section         
    calculated with CASTHY.  The effective scattering radius was  
    obtained from fitting to the calculated total cross section at
    100 keV.  The radiation width Gg was based on the systematics 
    of measured values for neighboring nuclides.                  
                                                                  
  Typical values of the parameters at 70 keV:                     
    S0 = 0.440e-4, S1 = 0.960e-4, S2 = 0.480e-4, Sg = 35.2e-4,

   ***************************************************************
      For JENDL-4.0, the unresolved resonance parameters were     
    re-evaluated by the ASREP /22/ code so as to reproduce the    
    total and capture cross sections given in JENDL3.3 in the     
    energy region from 0.33 keV to 100 keV. The parameters should 
    be used only for self-shielding calculations.

mf = 3  Neutron cross sections                                    
  Below 100 keV, resonance parameters were given.                 
  Above 100 keV, the spherical optical and statistical model      
  calculation was performed with CASTHY, by taking account of     
  competing reactions, of which cross sections were calculated    
  with PEGASUS/5/ standing on a preequilibrium and multi-step     
  evaporation model.  The OMP's for neutron given in Table 1 were 
  determined so as to reproduce the La-139 total cross sections   
  measured by Foster and Glasgow./6/, Islam et al./7/, Nishimura  
  et al./8/ and so on.  The OMP's for charged particles are as    
  follows:                                                        
     proton   = Perey/9/

  Parameters for the composite level density formula of Gilbert   
  and Cameron/13/ were evaluated by Iijima et al./14/  More       
  extensive determination and modification were made in the       
  present work.  Table 2 shows the level density parameters used  
  in the present calculation.  Energy dependence of spin cut-off  
  parameter in the energy range below E-joint is due to Gruppelaar
  /15/.

    Spherical optical and statistical model calculation with      
    CASTHY was adopted.  Direct and semi-direct capture cross     
    sections were estimated according to the procedure of Benzi   
    and Reffo/18/ and normalized to 1 milli-barn at 14 MeV.       
                                                                  
    The gamma-ray strength function (3.5e-03) was determined from 
    the systematics of radiation width (0.085 eV) and the average 
    s-wave resonance level spacing (24.5 eV) calculated from the

    The Kalbach's constant k (= 454.8) was estimated by the       
    formula derived from Kikuchi-Kawai's formalism/19/ and level

  syst:  * = ldp's were determined from systematics.              
                                                                  
 Spin cutoff parameters were calculated as 0.146*sqrt(a)*a**(2/3).
 In the CASTHY calculation, spin cutoff factors at 0 MeV were     
 assumed to be 7.524 for La-138 and 7.875 for La-139.
