ENDF/B-VI MOD 4 Revision, June 2000, S.C. Frankle, R.C. Reedy,
P.G. Young (LANL)
The secondary gamma-ray spectrum for radiative capture (MF 12,
MT 102) has been updated for new experimental data at incident
neutron energies up to 1 keV.
The Q-value for radiative capture was also updated in File 3.
Details of these changes are described in Los ALamos National
Laboratory report, LA-13812 (2001).

ENDF/B-VI MOD 3 Evaluation, September 1997, S. Chiba,
M.B. Chadwick, P.G. Young (LANL), and
A.J. Koning (ECN)
Los Alamos LA150 Library, produced with FKK/GNASH/GSCAN code
in cooperation with ECN Petten.
This evaluation provides a complete representation of the
nuclear data needed for transport, damage, heating,
radioactivity, and shielding applications over the incident
neutron energy range from 1.0E-11 to 150 MeV. The discussion
here is divided into the region below and above 20 MeV.
INCIDENT NEUTRON ENERGIES < 20 MeV
Below 20 MeV the evaluation is based completely on the ENDF/B-
VI.5 (Mod2) evaluation by Larson, C. Perey, Hetrich, and
Fu.
INCIDENT NEUTRON ENERGIES > 20 MeV
The ENDF/B-VI Release 2 evaluation extends to 20 MeV and
includes cross sections and energy-angle data for all
significant reactions. The present evaluation utilizes a more
compact composite reaction spectrum representation above 20 MeV
in order to reduce the length of the file. No essential data for
applications is lost with this representation.
The evaluation above 20 MeV utilizes MF=6, MT=5 to represent
all reaction data. Production cross sections and emission
spectra are given for neutrons, protons, deuterons, tritons,
alpha particles, gamma rays, and all residual nuclides produced
(A>5) in the reaction chains. To summarize, the ENDF sections
with non-zero data above En = 20 MeV are:
MF=3 MT= 1 Total Cross Section
MT= 2 Elastic Scattering Cross Section
MT= 3 Nonelastic Cross Section
MT= 5 Sum of Binary (n,n') and (n,x) Reactions
MF=4 MT= 2 Elastic Angular Distributions
MF=6 MT= 5 Production Cross Sections and Energy-Angle
Distributions for Emission Neutrons, Protons,
Deuterons, Tritons, and Alphas; and Angle-
Integrated Spectra for Gamma Rays and Residual
Nuclei That Are Stable Against Particle Emission
The evaluation is based on nuclear model calculations that
have been benchmarked to experimental data, especially for n +
Ni58 and p + Ni58 reactions [Ch97]. We use the GNASH code system
[Yo92], which utilizes Hauser-Feshbach statistical,
preequilibrium and direct-reaction theories. Spherical optical
model calculations are used to obtain particle transmission
coefficients for the Hauser-Feshbach calculations, as well as
for the elastic neutron angular distributions.
Cross sections and spectra for producing individual residual
nuclei are included for reactions. The energy-angle-correlations
for all outgoing particles are based on Kalbach systematics
[Ka88].
A model was developed to calculate the energy distributions of
all recoil nuclei in the GNASH calculations [Ch96]. The recoil
energy distributions are represented in the laboratory system in
MT=5, MF=6, and are given as isotropic in the lab system. All
other data in MT=5,MF=6 are given in the center-of-mass system.
This method of representation utilizes the LCT=3 option approved
at the November, 1996, CSEWG meeting.
Preequilibrium corrections were performed in the course of the
GNASH calculations using the exciton model of Kalbach [Ka77,
Ka85], validated by comparison with calculations using Feshbach,
Kerman, Koonin (FKK) theory [Ch93]. Discrete level data from
nuclear data sheets were matched to continuum level densities
using the formulation of Gilbert and Cameron [Gi65] and pairing
and shell parameters from the Cook [Co67] analysis. Neutron and
charged- particle transmission coefficients were obtained from
the optical potentials, as discussed below. Gamma-ray
transmission coefficients were calculated using the Kopecky-Uhl
model [Ko90].
SOME Ni-SPECIFIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE EVAL.
The neutron total cross section was evaluated based on the
least-squares method with GMA code system [Po81] taking account of
the experimental data [Ci68, Pe73, Sc73, La83, Di97, Fa66, Du67].
The data for natural Ni were also used because there was not
enough data for Ni-64 at MeV region. The data for natural Ni were
transformed to the Ni-64 cross section according to A*(2/3) law.
In the GMA analysis, the systematic error was assumed to be 1 %
for all the data set. Result of the GMA evaluation was used as
the evaluated total cross section data above 20 MeV.
The evaluated total cross section data (1 to 250 MeV) and s-wave
strength function [Mu81] were used to obtain the neutron optical
potential parameters. The parameter estimation was carried out
based on Marquart-Bayesian approach [Sm91], where ECIS95 code was
used for the optical model calculation. We have employed the
energy dependence of the optical potential similar to Delaroche's
work [De89]. The initial potential parameters were adopted from
Koning and Delaroche [Ko97]. Total of 7 parameters concerning the
central potential depth were estimated with associated covariance
matrix, while the geometircal parameters were fixed to the result
of a similar search for n + Ni-58. Presently obtained potential
was used for the calculation of neutron transmission coefficients
and DWBA cross sections in the energy region above 20 MeV. Below
20 MeV, the Harper neutron potential [Ha82] was used for the
calculation of transmission coefficients.
The proton optical potential was also searched for to obtain a
good description of proton-total reaction cross section as
predicted by Wellisch-Axen systematic [We96] above 50 MeV. The
parameter estimation was carried out by the Marquart-Bayesian
approach similar to the neutron OMP, but trying to seek the best
parameter to reproduce the reaction cross sections compiled by
Carlson [Ca96] and Wellisch values. The experimental data in
Carlson [Ca96] was scaled for Ni-64 according to A**(2/3) law. In
this search, the geometrical parameters were fixed to be same as
the neutron potential. The present potential gives a good
description of the proton total reaction cross section from 10 MeV
to 250 MeV. However, after some trial and error to reproduce both
the elastic scattering and reaction cross section data for Ni-58,
we have employed the following combination of proton potentials:
0 to 5 MeV : Harper potential [Ha82]
6 to 47 MeV : Koning and Delaroche [Ko97]
48 to 260 MeV : Present OMP
For deuterons, the Lohr-Haeberli [Lo74] global potential was used;
for alpha particles the McFadden-Satchler [Mc66] potential was
used; and for tritons the Becchetti-Greenlees [Be71] potential was
used. The He-3 channel was ignored.
The direct collective inelastic scattering to the following levels
in Ni-64 was considered by the DWBA-mode calculation of ECIS95
[Ra96]:
Jpi Ex(MeV) Deformation length
2+ 1.3458 0.9215
3- 3.56 0.838
The data for 2+ level was retrieved from the literature [Ra87].
The deformation length for the 3- level was scaled from the same
quantity for Ni-62 according to A**(1/3) law.

This work employed the Hauser-Feshbach code TNG (1,2,3).
The TNG code provides energy and angular distributions of
particles emitted in the compound and pre-compound reactions,
ensures consistency among all reactions, and maintains energy
balance. Details pertinent to the contents of this evaluation
can be found in reference (4).
