Abstract

Discrete and continuous spectra of fissioning nuclei at the humps of fission barriers (Bohr transition states) and in the intermediate wells (superdeformed and hyperdeformed states) play a key role in the calculation of fission cross sections. A theoretical evaluation of the collective parts of the spectra is possible within the framework of the dinuclear system model, which treats the wave function of the fissioning nucleus as a superposition of a mononucleus configuration and two–cluster configurations in a dynamical way, permitting exchange of upper–shell nucleons between clusters. The impact of theoretical spectra on neutron–induced fission cross sections and, in combination with an improved version of the scission–point model, on angular distribution of fission fragments is evaluated for plutonium isotopes of interest to nuclear energy applications.

2. Optical Model And Cross Section Uncertainties

Physics, QC1-999
Abstract

Distinct minima and maxima in the neutron total cross section uncertainties were observed in model calculations using spherical optical potential. We found this oscillating structure to be a general feature of quantum mechanical wave scattering. Specifically, we analyzed neutron interaction with 56Fe from 1 keV up to 65 MeV, and investigated physical origin of the minima. We discuss their potential importance for practical applications as well as the implications for the uncertainties in total and absorption cross sections.

7. Validation and Testing of ENDF/B-VII Decay Data.

Abstract

The nuclear decay library developed for the ORIGEN code was upgraded from ENDF/B-VI.8 to -VII.0 and released in the SCALE nuclear modeling and simulation code system in 2011. Experience with the ENDF/B-VII.0 library identified serious errors and performance issues in the evaluated decay sublibrary. Initially, errors were identified in the decay scheme for the 238U series, leading to large discrepancies in the gamma emission rate for uranium. Further testing of the fission product decay data revealed significant performance issues with ENDF/B-VII.0 relative to the previous release of ENDF/B-VI. To address the performance issues, the decay data library in SCALE was upgraded to ENDF/B-VII.1 and released as an update for users in 2013. This paper describes the practical impact of the ENDF/B-VII.0 decay data performance issues on common code applications, and the validation and testing performed on the updated ORIGEN libraries developed from the ENDF/B-VII.1 sublibrary.

8. Sensitivity analysis of neutron total and absorption cross sections within the optical model.

Abstract

Distinct maxima and minima in neutron total and absorption cross-section uncertainties when optical-model parameters are varied have been observed in large-scale covariance calculations. These features were seen over a wide mass range (20-210) and for energies up to 20 MeV. Here we investigate the physical origin of the observed patterns over an extended energy range (1 keV to 200 MeV). We have calculated the sensitivity of the cross sections for a specific nucleus (56Fe) to variations of the 15 parameters of a standard global optical potential parametrization, and have also carried out calculations for alternative global optical potentials over the original wide mass and energy ranges. We find that simple physical descriptions can be found in two energy ranges. Below approximately 100 keV, the patterns arise from the interplay of the s- and p-wave single-particle resonances. Above approximately 4 MeV, a single-phase-shift approximation (the Ramsauer model) describes the observed behavior. We discuss the potential importance of such sensitivity studies for further development of optical potentials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In 2002, an innovative neutron time-of-flight facility started operation at CERN: n&#95;TOF. The main characteristics that make the new facility unique are the high instantaneous neutron flux, high resolution and wide energy range. Combined with state-of-the-art detectors and data acquisition system, these features have allowed to collect high accuracy neutron cross-section data on a variety of isotopes, many of which radioactive, of interest for Nuclear Astrophysics and for applications to advanced reactor technologies. A review of the most important results on capture and fission reactions obtained so far at n&#95;TOF is presented, together with plans for new measurements related to nuclear industry., (Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
