   The evaluation was modified so that the threshold for the      
 (n,n'continuum) reaction, MT=91, was the same for the secondary  
 particle production as for the cross section. The threshold for  
 the secondary neutrons and photons was changed from 1.050000e+7  
 to 1.002700e+7 eV.

 ENDF/B-VI MOD 1 Evaluation, P.G. Young (LANL) May 1989           
                                                                  
 GENERAL DESCRIPTION                                              
   This evaluation is a synthesis of experimental results and     
 theoretical calculations using the GNASH Hauser-Feshbach,        
 statistical theory code [ar88, yo77]. It replaces a pre-1970 U.K.
 evaluation that was adapted for ENDF/B in 1971 [co79].           
   Major emphasis was placed on experimental data where possible, 
 usually using the calculations to estimate shapes and            
 experimental data to normalize the the calculations. Spherical   
 optical model calculations were used to obtain particle          
 transmission coefficients, using global potentials for protons   
 and alphas, and the work of Dave et al. [Da83] for the neutron   
 potential.  Gilbert-Cameron level density parameters were used   
 and preequilibrium corrections from an exciton model were        
 included. In general, the calculations were required for the     
 gamma and particle emission spectra from charged-particle        
 reactions, as well as for inelastic neutron and gamma emission   
 above the third excited state of B11, and for all states above   
 an incident neutron energy of about 8 MeV.

   The 1981 evaluation by Mughabghab [mu81] was used for the      
 2200 m/s cross sections, as follows:                             
         MT =  1   sigma = 4.8455 b                               
         MT =  2   sigma = 4.8400 b                               
         MT =102   sigma = 0.0055 b

         resolution data of Au79 were emphasized.  Optical model  
         calculations with the Da83 potential used to define shape
         above 14 MeV.
