History
09-12 The resolved resonance parameters were evaluated by
A.Zukeran,K.Shibata.
The data above the resolved resonance region were evaluated
and compiled by N.Iwamoto.
MF= 1 General information
MT=451 Descriptive data and directory
MF= 2 Resonance parameters
MT=151 Resolved and unresolved resonance parameters
Resolved resonance region (MLBW formula): below 12 keV
Resonance parameters adopted in JENDL-3.1 were taken from
JENDL-2/1/: resonance energies were taken from Tellier
/2/ and Musgrove et al./3/ by adjusting to those of ref.
/2/. Nneutron widths were taken from ref./2/, and
radiation widths were deduced from the capture areas of
Musgrove et al. For the resonances not measured by Tellier,
neutron widths were estimated from the capture areas by
assuming the average radiation widths of 0.047 eV for s-wave
resonances and of 0.041 eV for p-wave ones. For the lowest
2 levels, the capture widths of Karzhavina et al./4/ were
adopted. A negative resonance was added at -76 eV so as to
reproduce the capture cross section of 3.8+-0.3 barns at
0.0253 eV /5/.
For JENDL-3.2, the capture data measured at ORELA of ORNL
were renormalized (factor = 0.967)/6/. The neutron width
and/or the radiation width was revised to reproduce the
renormalized capture area for each resonance above 2.6 keV.
Effective scattering radius recommended in ref./7/ was
adopted and parameters of the nagative level were adjusted
to thermal cross sections/7/.
In JENDL-4, the data for 2.8 - 19.9 keV were updated by
considering the capture area and g*Gamma_n data obtained by
Wisshak et al./8/ The resonance energies and angular
momenta (L, J) remain unchanged from JENDL-3.3. When the
derived radiation width became negative, another J value
was assumed. Moreover, the parameters for 374 eV were
replaced with the ones obtained by Barry et al./9/ The
parameters for the negative resonance were re-adjusted so as
to reproduce the thermla capture cross section recommended
by Mughabghab./10/
Unresolved resonance region : 12.0 keV - 200.0 keV
The unresolved resonance paramters (URP) were determined by
ASREP code /11/ so as to reproduce the evaluated total and
capture cross sections calculated with optical model code
OPTMAN /12/ and CCONE /13/. The unresolved parameters
should be used only for self-shielding calculation.
