Experimental verification of neutron inelastic scattering cross section for iron

Results of experimental verification of results on neutron inelastic scattering cross section for iron obtained in measurements of spectra of neutrons undergoing inelastic scattering at incident neutron energies of 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 MeV and their calculations within the framework of statistical theory of nuclear reactions and direct interactions are presented. Description is given of the methodology of measurements and simulation calculations. Spectra of neutrons undergoing inelastic scattering obtained for iron in the process of experiments are analyzed in comparison with calculated data. New measurements of neutron inelastic scattering spectra and their analysis within the framework of contemporary modeling understanding allowed formulating proposal on introduction of corrections in the indigenous BROND-2.2 library of recommended evaluated neutron data and insignificant corrections in the most recent version of the library BROND-3.
