MF=1 GENERAL INFORMATION
MT=451 COMMENTS AND DICTIONARY
MF=2 RESONANCE PARAMETERS
MT=151 RESOLVED RESONANCE PARAMETERS(BELOW 1.49774MEV)
REICH-MOORE FORMULA WAS ADOPTED. ABOVE 100KEV,BACKGROUND CROSS
SECTION WAS GIVEN TO REPRODUCE WINTERS MEASUREMENT/1/.
NEGATIVE ENERGY LEVEL PARAMETERS WERE ADJUSTED TO REPRODUCE
2200M/S CROSS SECTIONS.
EVALUATION WAS MAINLY BASED ON WINTERS/1/, MACKLINS/2/ DATA
AND MUGHABGHABS/3/ COMPILATION.
CALCULATED 2200-M/S CROSS SECTIONS AND RES. INTEGRALS (BARNS)
2200 M/S RES. INTEG.
TOTAL 1.307 -
ELASTIC 0.647 -
CAPTURE 0.66 0.294
MF=3 NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS
BELOW 1.49774 MEV, RESONANCE PARAMETERS WERE GIVEN.
BELOW 5.0MEV, WINTERS TOTAL CROSS SECTION MEASUREMENT/1/ WAS
FOLLOWED. ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTION WAS RECONSTRUCTED
FROM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOTAL AND SUM OF OTHER PARTIAL CROSS
SECTIONS.
ABOVE 1.5 MEV, INELASTIC SCATTERING AND CAPTURE CROSS SECTION
AND ABOVE 5.0 MEV, TOTAL AND ELASTIC SCATTERING CROSS SECTION
WERE CALCULATED WITH THE OPTICAL AND STATISTICAL MODEL CODE
CASTHY/4/.
DIRECT PROCESS FOR INELASTIC SCATTERING WERE CORRECTED WITH
DWBA CODE DWUCKY/5/. THE PARAMETERS USED IN DWUCKY CALCULATION
WERE ESTIMATED FROM RAMANS/6/ COMPILATION AND HALF LIFE DATA OF
ENSDF FILE/7/.
OPTICAL MODEL PARAMETERS USED IN CASTHY CALCULATION WERE AS
FOLLOWS.

LEVELS ABOVE 4.58 MEV WERE ASSUMED TO BE OVERLAPPING.
PARAMETERS FOR THE COMPOSITE LEVEL DENSITY FORMULA OF GIRBERT-
CAMERON WERE ADOPTED.
SPIN CUT-OFF PARAMETER C1 WAS TAKEN AS 0.146.
