This evaluation is a combination of a new evaluation for files    
3 and 33 for all MT numbers with the files 2, 4, 6, 12 and 14     
from ENDF/B-VI.5 (see file 1 of ENDF/B-VI for 28Si). The new file 
3 and 33 was derived in the following way: The cross sections     
from the EFF-2 file (results of model calculations) and their     
estimated covariances (see Table 1) are used as prior             
information which is successively improved by adding              
experimental data (see Table 2) and by applying Bayes' theorem    
to obtain the posterior information. For this process the code    
GLUCS was used. For some cross sections, not covered in EFF-2,    
priors were taken from BROND and recent nuclear model             
calculations. As results we obtained evaluated cross sections     
and their covariances for a chosen set of 15 independent cross    
sections in a group structure of 31 neutron energy groups 0.2     
- 1 MeV wide. A final coupled set of evaluated cross sections     
and covariances was obtained by a last GLUCS run including the    
experimental data for redundant cross sections, that is all       
cross sections which can be expressed as sums or differences      
of the basic cross sections of Table 1. In this way evaluated     
cross sections and covariances were obtained for the 15 basic     
cross sections of Table 1 in a group structure of 31 neutron      
energy groups.                                                    
                                                                  
The covariances obtained in this way are directly used as         
corresponding files 33 in the new evaluation.                     
                                                                  
For the cross sections (file 3 data) a more detailed              
description is needed in two respects. Cross section              
fluctuations within the relatively large energy groups of the     
GLUCS evaluation have to be included wherever sufficiently        
well known and a number of the cross sections e.g.                
n,n4-16, n,p have to be subdivided into their components, e.g.    
the inelastic neutron scattering cross sections to the            
individual levels No 4-16 according to the calculated cross       
section ratios of the ENDF/B-VI.5 evaluation.                     
                                                                  
In detail the final MF3 file was derived from the described       
GLUCS output (group cross section) in the following way for       
the different reaction types:                                     
- MT1: The fine structure observed in the most recent high-       
  resolution experiment [Larson 96] was superimposed on our       
  group cross sections.                                           
- MT 51: The fine structure from ENDF/B-VI, which is based on     
  the data of [Dickens 74] was superimposed on our group cross    
  sections.                                                       
- MT52 and MT53: Our cross sections for MT 851 were split into    
  these two components according to the calculated cross          
  section ratios of ENDF/B-VI.5.                                  
- MT 54-66: The cross sections for MT 852 were split in the       
  same way as MT 851.                                             
- MT 103: The total (n,p) cross section was split into its        
  components for proton emission to discrete levels MT 600-613    
  and to the continuum MT 649 according to the cross section      
  ratios given in ENDF/B-VI.5. In addition the fine structure     
  used in ENDF/B-VI.5 was superimposed to the total and all       
  partial (n,p) cross sections below 9 MeV).                      
- MT 107: The total (n,p) cross section was split into its        
  components for proton emission to discrete levels MT 800-815    
  and to the continuum. In addition the fine structure used in    
  ENDF/B-VI.5 was superimposed to the total and all partial       
  (n,a) cross sections.                                           
                                                                  
Though redundant, the total (n,p) and (n,a) cross sections (MT    
103 and MT 107) are also given in the file for covenience.
