24-Cr- 52 ORNL Resonance Evaluation Including Covariance
L. C. Leal, H. Derrien, K. Guber, G. Arbanas and D. Wiarda
Resolved resonance parameter evaluation for Cr-52 was done with
the computer code SAMMY.[ref1] Capture and transmission
measurements enriched Cr-52 and natural chromium were performed
at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) of the Oak
Ridge National Laboratory. The neutron transmission and capture
data were measured in the energy range from 10 keV to 600 keV.
The transmission data were measured at the 80-meter flight-path,
whereas the 40-meter flight-path was used for the capture cross
section measurements. The determination of the resolved resonance
parameters for the chromium isotope below 100 keV relied mainly
on the recent ORELA measurements. The ORELA capture cross section
data were essential in the evaluation since there are no capture
cross section data available in the literature. In
addition to the new ORELA measurements, existing high-resolution
transmission data for enriched nuclides were also included in the
evaluation. Thermal cross section data available in the EXFOR data
system were also included in the evaluation.
Direct-semidirect (DSD) capture on Cr-52 was computed using the
computer code CUPIDO created by F.S. Dietrich (LLNL).[ref2] To
obtain the optical potential for this computation, the global
optical potential of Koning-Delaroche was manually adjusted to
reproduce the experimentally measured scattering radius R'.
This method was justified since low-energy phenomena are
determined by R'. It was found that the low-energy capture is
dominated by electric-dipole (E1) capture of s-wave neutrons. A
density form of the E1 operator was used. The spectroscopic
factors for the capturing bound states in Cr-53 were taken from
L.K. Peker.[ref3] The computed thermal DSD capture is about 0.11
barns. The uncertainty of DSD computation is inherently large,
usually about 20-30%.
A set of resonance parameter describing the experimental data
was obtained. Resonance parameter covariance matrices were also
obtained in the SAMMY evaluation process. The Cr-52 evaluation was
done in the energy region 10-5 eV 1.43 MeV.
Thermal cross section obtained in the present evaluation are
compared to the values listed in the Atlas of Neutron Resoances
in the following table:

Uncertainty in the group cross section around the thermal cross
section due the covarinace data has been calculated for a energy
group between the energies 0.0253 eV and 0.3 eV. The average cross
sections for this energy group are listed in the following tale:
