DIST-DEC21 20100318 ----JENDL-5 MATERIAL 9137 -----INCIDENT NEUTRON DATA ------ENDF-6 FORMAT History 06-07 Resonance parameters were modified. 07-10 Theoretical calculation was done with CCONE code. Data were compiled as JENDL/AC-2008/1/. 08-12 (1,455) was modified. 09-04 (1,452), (1,455) and (1,456) were revised. 10-02 Data of prompt gamma rays due to fission were given. 10-03 Covariance data were given. 21-08 QI of MT75 was slightly shifted to avoid duplication with MT74 by S. Nakayama. 21-11 revised by O.Iwamoto (MF3/MT19-21,38) deleted (MF8/MT4,16-18,37,102) added MF=1 General information MT=452 Number of Neutrons per fission Sum of MT's=455 and 456. MT=455 Delayed neutron data Determined from nu-d of the following three fissioning nuclides and partial fission cross sections calculated with CCONE code/2/. Pa-234 = 0.02301 Pa-233 = 0.01577 Pa-232 = 0.01083 They are averages of systematics by Tuttle/3/, Benedetti et al./4/ and Waldo et al./5/ MT=456 Number of prompt neutrons per fission Estimated from Ohsawa's systematics/6/. MF= 2 Resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameters (MLBW: 1.0E-5 - 100 eV) Resonance parameters evaluated by Morogovskii and Bakhanovich /7/ were adopted. Total spin of each resonance was assigned at random. Parameters of a negative resonance were adjusted to the thermal cross sections. The thermal cross sections to be reproduced: Total = 55.0 +- 4.2 b Simpson et al./8/ Capture = 39.4 +- 1.2 b Smith et al./9/, Eastwood et al./10/, Halperin et al./11/, Connor/12/, Bringer et al./13/ Unresolved resonance parameters (100 eV - 10 keV) Cross sections were reproduced with average resonance parameters determined by ASREP code/14/. These parameters are used only for self-shielding effects.

MF= 3 Neutron cross sections Cross sections above the resolved resonance region were calculated with CCONE code/2/. MT= 1 Total cross section The cross section was calculated with CC OMP of Soukhovitskii et al./15/ with modification of the quadrupole deformation parameter. MT=18, 19 Fission cross section Above 30 keV, calculated with CCONE code. From 1 eV to 10 keV, a constant cross section of 4.0E-7 b was assumed. Below 1 eV, 1/v shape cross section was assumed. The experimental data of Petit et al./16/ and Tovesson et al./17/ were used to determine the parameters in the CCONE calculation. MF= 4 Angular distributions of secondary neutrons MT=2 Elastic scattering Calculated with CCONE code/2/. MT=18 Fission Isotropic distributions in the laboratory system were assumed. MF= 5 Energy distributions of secondary neutrons MT=18 Prompt neutrons Calculated with CCONE code/2/. MF= 6 Energy-angle distributions Calculated with CCONE code/2/. Distributions from fission (MT=18) are not included. MF=12 Photon production multiplicities MT=18 Fission Calculated from the total energy released by the prompt gamma-rays due to fission which was estimated from its systematics, and the average energy of gamma-rays. MF=14 Photon angular distributions MT=18 Fission Isotoropic distributions were assumed. MF=15 Continuous photon energy spectra MT=18 Fission Experimental data measured by Verbinski et al./18/ for U-235 thermal fission were adopted. MF=31 Covariances of average number of neutrons per fission MT=452 Number of neutrons per fission Sum of covariances for MT=455 and MT=456. MT=455 Error of 15% was assumed. MT=456 Covariance was obtained by fitting a linear function to the data at 0.0 and 5.0 MeV with an uncertainty of 5%. MF=32 Covariances of resonance parameters MT=151 Resolved resonance parameterss Format of LCOMP=0 was adopted. Uncertainties of parameters were taken from Mughabghab /19/. For the parameters without any information on uncertainty, the following uncertainties were assumed: Resonance energy 0.1 % Neutron width 10 % Capture width 50 % Fission width 20 % They were further modified by considering experimental data of the capture cross section at the thermal neutron energy. MF=33 Covariances of neutron cross sections Covariances were given to all the cross sections by using KALMAN code/20/ and the covariances of model parameters used in the cross-section calculations. Covariances of the fission cross section were determined by considering the experimental data (see MF=3). In the resolved resonance region, the following standard deviations were added to the contributions from resonance parameters: Total 0 - 10 % Elastic scattering 20 % Fission 90 % Capture 0 - 10 % MF=34 Covariances for Angular Distributions MT=2 Elastic scattering Covariances were given only to P1 components. MF=35 Covariances for Energy Distributions MT=18 Fission spectra Estimated with CCONE and KALMAN codes. ***************************************************************** Calculation with CCONE code ***************************************************************** Models and parameters used in the CCONE/2/ calculation 1) Coupled channel optical model Levels in the rotational band were included.
