   "Experiments measuring neutron capture and transmission were   
    performed ath the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) LINAC
    Transmission experiments utilized Li-6 glass scintilation     
    detectors at flight path lengths of 15 and 25 m. Capture      
    experiments were done using a sixteen section NaI(Tl)         
    multicplicity type detector at a flight path length of 25 m.  
    These experiments utilized various thicknesses of metallic and
    isotope-enriched liquid samples. The liquid samples were      
    designed to provide information on the Hf-176 and Hf-178      
    contributions to the 8 eV doublet without saturation. Data    
    analysis was done using the R-matrix Bayesian fitting code    
    SAMMY. The combined capture and transmission data analysis    
    yielded resonance parameters for all stable hafnium isotopes

NB:modification for JENDL-3.3: for mt=1, measured data [9,10,11]  
   on natural element were considered in the energy region from   
   110 keV to 7.5 MeV.

  Calculated with gnash [6]. The transmission coefficients for    
  the incident channel were generated with ecis [4], while those  
  for the exit channels with eliese-3 [12].  The preequilibrium   
  parameter f2 was adjusted to reproduce the measured (n,2n) cross
  section at 14.5 MeV and resulted in f2=5.0.

  Calculated with gnash [6] and stored under option-1 (photon     
  production multiplicities).  The photon strength functions for  
  most nuclei were taken from [1], while those for some hafnium   
  isotopes were determined from capture cross section normaliza-  
  tion to the experimental data.  The photon profile function is a
  superposition of the berman-type giant dipole resonance [13]    
  and the pygmy resonance whose parameter values were cited from  
  the neighbouring nucleus Ta [14].
