    - Resolved resonance region (MLBW formula): below 2.25 keV    
        Resonance parameters of JENDL-3.3 were mainly based on the
      data measured by Ribon et al./1/. The neutron orbital       
      angular momentum l was assumed to be 0 for all the 40       
      resonance levels up to 4 keV. The neutron widths of the 40  
      levels were derived from the g*(neutron width) data measured
      by Ribon et al. However, the value of total spin j for each 
      resonance level was unknown except 24 levels assigned by    
      Ribon et al. In JENDL-3.3, the total spin j of 16 resonance 
      levels was tentatively estimated with a random number       
      method. The radiation widths of 24 resonance levels were    
      given by Ribon et al.; those of 6 levels were obtained from 
      the difference between total and neutron widths. For the    
      remaining 10 levels, the weighted average radiation width of
      111.94 meV was derived from the above 24 radiation widths,  
      and was assigned to them. A negative resonance level was    
      added at -84 eV so as to reproduce the thermal capture cross
      section of 85+-10 barns given by Mughabghab et al./2/       
      The scattering radius was also taken from the graph (fig. 1,
      Part A) given by Mughabghab et al.                          
        In JENDL-4, the values of total spin j at 49.508 eV,      
      992.98 eV, 1884.6 eV, and 2082.7 eV were changed in order to
      keep the consistency among the neutron, radiation, and total
      widths.  With the change of the j-values, the widths at some
      resonance levels were modified. The weighted average value  
      of radiation widths was also slightly modified from 111.94  
      eV to 111.84 eV. The data of p-wave resonance measured at   
      3.2 eV by Skoy et al./3/ were compiled in this edition.     
      Moreover, the parameters at 14.41 eV were replaced with     
      those at 14.47 eV obtained by Skoy et al./4/                
      The negative resonance level was modified so as to reproduce
      the thermal capture cross section of 100+-6 barns at 0.0253 
      eV measured by lucas et al./5/.                             
                                                                  
    - Unresolved resonance region: 3.6 keV - 150 keV              
        The parameters were obtained by fitting to the total and  
      capture cross sections calculated by the POD code /6/.      
      The ASREP code /7/ was employed in this evaluation.         
      The unresolved parameters should be used only for           
      self-shielding calculation.

1. Theoretical models                                             
 The POD code is based on the spherical optical model, the        
distorted-wave Born approximaiton (DWBA), one-component exciton   
preequilibrium model, and the Hauser-Feshbach-Moldauer statis-    
tical model.  With the preequilibrium model, semi-empirical       
pickup and knockout process can be taken into account for         
composite-particle emission.  The gamma-ray emission from the     
compound nucleus can be calculated within the framework of the    
exciton model.  The code is capable of reading in particle        
transmission coefficients calculated by separate spherical or     
coupled-channel optical model code. In this evaluation, the OPTMAN
code /8/ was employed for neutrons, while the ECIS code           
/10/ was adopted for charged particles.
