Abstract

This paper presents the resolved resonance parameter evaluation for the ^lsO cross section in the energy range 0 to 6 MeV using the computer code SAMMY. It addresses issues regarding the thermal scattering cross-section values and also provides some insights on the normalization concerns regarding the (n, a) cross section. The evaluation uses the ENDF resonance parameter representation (LRF=7) that permits to include the underlying physics used in the evaluation process. In addition, the LRF=7 representation is no longer a matter for cross-section generation since it is part of the major data processing capabilities. Few benchmark calculations have been performed using the new resonance evaluation. The results indicate that the evaluation is performing well.
