Processing of this file is possible with NJOY91.91 A basic version, where all reaction mechanisms are explicitly specified by the LIP parameter, is also available. Although the format used is strictly ENDF-6, not all present processing codes may work properly, because of the fact that the energy-angle distributions are quite complex for light targets. Loss of information may occur if processing codes translate the laboratory frame energy-angle distributions into Legendre coefficients (for PN group cross-sections). In order to take advantage of the possibility of MCNP4A to use MF6 data from a tabulated distribution in LAW=7 format, MF6 LAW=1 data were converted to LAW=7, for all reaction products, except for gamma's (ZAP=0.). The latter data remain in the LAW=1 format, as processing in the LAW=7 format is not allowed currently with NJOY. Processing with the most recent version of NJOY91 is easily possible. ****************************************************************** The EFF-2 data file is made in the framework of the European Fu- sion Programme of the European Community. The data file is main- tained at the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation ECN, P.O. Box 1, 1755 ZG Petten, The Netherlands (contact: H.

Box 1, 1755 ZG Petten N.H., The Netherlands H. Liskien, Central Bureau of Nuclear Measurements, Geel, Belgium P. G. Young, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA SUMMARY OF THE DATA FILE EFF-2: The primary reference for this evaluation is BE90, based upon earlier work BE70, BE79, BE88. The EFF-2 evaluation of Li-7 neutron induced cross sections can be viewed as an update of the ENDF/B-VI evaluation of Young (YO88), mainly with respect to a revision of angle-energy coupled neutron distributions. In fact, there are only small differences in the excitation functions (MF=3) and no differences in the elastic scattering angular distributions. However, the description of the neutron angle-energy distributions is entirely different in EFF-2, because of the adoption of a new method, storing the data in the new MF=6 format of ENDF-VI, rather than adopting "pseudo" levels in MF=3 and MF=4. The neutron distributions of all reactions are explicitly given; but in the present user's version different reaction mechanisms have been lumped together (LIP=0). In MF=6 the distributions are specified in the laboratory system in a tabular form as a function of angle and outgoing energy. In this version no distributions for other particles than neutrons are given explicitly. A more detailed description is given below. Note that there are no changes in the photon-production cross-sections (MF=12,14). The covariance data (MF=33) have not been included, although ENDF/B-VI data may still be relevant for those cross-sections that were not modified. EXCITATION FUNCTIONS (MF=3) The angle-energy integrated total cross-section (MT1), elastic scattering cross-section (MT2), total inelastic scattering cross-section (MT4), (n,2n) cross-section (MT16), (n,2n)d cross-section (MT24), (n,3n)p cross-section (MT25) and (n,gamma) cross-section (MT102) are equal to those of ENDF/B-VI. Likewise, the total tritium production cross-section (MT52+53+91) and the inelastic scattering cross section for excitation of the first-ex- cited state (MT51) are the same. The main difference is the subdivision of the inelastic scattering cross section into cross-sections for three discrete levels at 0.478, 4.63 and 6.68 MeV (MT51,52,53, respectively) and a conti- nuum (MT91), rather than into a mixture of cross-sections to dis- crete and "pseudo" levels (MT51-82) as adopted in ENDF/B-VI. In fact, the (n,n')gamma cross-section (MT51) is the same in the two evaluations, as well the cross-sections for excitation of the excited state at 4.63 MeV (MT52 and MT56, respectively). The cross-section for excitation of the 6.68 MeV level (MT53) was ta- ken from the evaluation of Liskien LI86. It is noted that the threshold for the continuum (MT91) is below the energy of the last discrete level (MT53). Another (small) difference is that the (n,d) cross-section of ENDF/B-VI has been splitted into an (n,d) part (MT104) and an (n,np) part (MT28), each of 50% of the ENDF/B-VI values. ANGULAR DISTRIBUTIONS (MF=4) Although it is possible to store angular distributions for all reactions in the new MF=6 format, it was decided to use the new MF=6 format only for distributions of particles emitted from the continuum or a broadened level. The neutron distributions of elas- tic and inelastic scattering cross-sections via "sharp" discrete states are well described by excitation functions in MF=3 and cen- ter-of-mass angular distributions in MF=4. In all cases Legendre coefficients are given. In the EFF-2 evaluation the elastic (MT=2) angular distribution is equal to that of ENDF/B-VI. The same applies to the neutron angu- lar distribution of inelastic scattering to the second excited state at 4.63 MeV (MT=52, equal to MT56 of ENDF/B-VI). For the angular distribution of neutrons emitted from the first-excited state at 0.478 MeV (MT=51) EFF-1 data were used, evaluated by H. Liskien (LI86). All other angular distributions are included in the combined angle-energy distributions stored in file MF=6. No seperate energy distribution file (MF=4) is given in EFF-2. It is noted that the angular distributions of neutrons emitted from the level at 6.68 MeV (MT53) are not given here, because of the fact that this level has a finite natural width. ENERGY ANGLE DISTRIBUTIONS (MF=6) The major change with respect to ENDF/B-VI is the re-evaluation of angle-energy distribution functions for neutrons emitted in the continuum from the following reactions: (n,2n), (n,2n)d, (n,3n)t-alpha, (n,np), and (n,n')alpha-t (MT=16,24,25,28,91, res- pectively). In addition, the angle-energy distributions of neutrons coming from the excitation of the 6.68 MeV state via the (n,n')alpha-t reaction (MT53) are specified here, rather than in MF=4. The reason is that the 6.68 MeV state has a significant natural width, and it appears as a broadened peak in the emission spectrum. The format of MF=6 was chosen to allow a physical description of angle-energy coupled neutron distributions. The method of using "pseudo" levels (used in ENDF/B-VI) can do the same job, but its mayor drawback is that the levels are not real and therefore it is not an optimal physical description. In the present evaluation the following subdivision has been made: __________________________________________________________________ MT= 16 (N,2N) CROSS SECTION (THREE-BODY BREAK-UP) MT= 24 (N,2N)D-ALPHA CROSS SECTION (THREE-BODY BREAK-UP FOLLOWED BY DECAY OF FIRST-EXCITED STATE IN LI-6) NOTE: DOUBLE SEQUENTIAL BREAK-UP TROUGH HE-6 AND HE-5 HAS BEEN NEGLECTED. MT= 25 (N,3N)ALPHA-P CROSS SECTION (MULTI-BODY BREAK-UP) MT= 28 (N,NP) CROSS SECTION (THREE-BODY BREAK-UP) MT= 53 (N,N')T-ALPHA CROSS SECTION (INELASTIC SCATTERING FOLLOWED BY DECAY OF EXCITED STATE WITH NATURAL WIDTH) MT= 91 (N,N')T-ALPHA CROSS SECTION _________________________________________________________________ Throughout subfile MF6 the EFF-2 data are stored using LAW=7 (Continuum angle-energy distributions), adopting tabular representations of neutron yields and tabulated laboratory energy distributions as well as outcoming energy distributions for each laboratory angle (21 equidistant values of the cosine of the scattering angle). A Cartesian linear-linear interpolation scheme is prescribed for outgoing energy and cosine of scattering angle. For a detailed discussion of the modelling the user is referred to BE90. The reaction kinetics determines the distributions, once the excitation functions for the various processes and the center-of-mass angular distributions are known. These parameters are largely determined by experimental (or evaluated) data. If not, they were varied within their physical boundaries to obtain an optimum fit with experimental angle-energy distributions. With respect to ENDF/B-VI only very few additional data (DE87, SH89, CH85, TA87) were used in this process: the main innovation comes from the modelling itself. PHOTON PRODUCTION DATA The photon production data stored in MF12 (photon multiplicities) and MF14 (photon angular distributions) are identical to those of ENDF/B-VI. Photons are only given for inelastic scattering via the first-excited state (MT51) and for radiative capture (MT102). Photons from the (n,2n)d-alpha reaction (MT24) are not explicitly given. ***************************************************************** EFF-2 DETAILED FILE INFORMATION UPDATED FROM THE ENDF/B-VI EVALUATION (V-C ANALYSIS MEANS VARIANCE-COVARIANCE ANALYSIS, SEE YO-81,82,88) ***************************************************************** *********** MF=2 RESONANCE PARAMETERS *************************** MT=151 SCATTERING RADIUS ONLY. *********** MF=3 SMOOTH NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS ****************** MT= 1 TOTAL CROSS SECTION.
