GENERAL INFORMATION
==============================------------------------------------
* Resonance parameters updated up to 200 eV with recent values
extracted from Time-Of-Flight measurements carried out at the
RPI facility [16].
* The Reich-Moore approximation of the R-Matrix theory is used
for this revision
* Above 200 eV, resonance parameters are taken from ENDF/B-VI
* Unresolved Resonance Range and High neutron energies range are
taken from JENDL-3.3
THERMAL CROSS SECTIONS AND RESONANCE INTEGRALS
==============================------------------------------------
* Effective potential scattering length for s-wave channel has
been set to the ENDF/B-VI value of 8.0 fm
* Thermal cross sections and Resonance Integrals calculated with
the NJOY-99.90 code [18]

RESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE (RRR): E < 200 EV
==============================------------------------------------
* Resonance Parameters are those reported by M.J. Trbovich in
his PhD Thesis. Original abstract of the PhD Manuscript is
given below:
"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[17]. The combined capture and transmission data analysis
yielded resonance parameters for all stable hafnium isotopes
from 0.005-200 eV"
* S-wave average parameters:
R' = 8.0 +- 0.7
= 57 +- 13 meV
RESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE (RRR): 200 < E < 250 EV
==============================------------------------------------
Above 200 eV, Resonance Shape Analysis of the RPI data has been
carried out with the resonance parameters available in the
ENDF/B-VI evaluation. Original Comment is:
* Resolved Resonance Parameters from Ref. [1]
* Value of Average Gg are set to 65+-5 meV [1]
* Value for the scattering radius is 8.0 fm
UNRESOLVED RESONANCE RANGE (URR): 250 EV < E < 50 KEV
==============================------------------------------------
Above 250 eV, description of the URR is taken from JENDL-3.3.
Original comment is:
S0, S1, R' and have been adjusted so that the calculated
total and capture cross sections were reproduced well.
D-obs = 3.58 eV
S0 = 2.5e-4
S1 = 1.0e-4
R' = 7.3 fm
= 65.0 meV
HIGH ENERGY RANGE: E > 50 KEV
==============================------------------------------------
Above 50 keV, evaluation of the high energy range is taken from
JENDL-3.3, original comment is:
MF=3 => Neutron cross sections
* mt=1,2,4,51-66,91,102
Total,elastic,inelastic and capture calculated with ecis [2] and
casthy [3]. Deformed optical potential for ecis calculation was
determined so as to reproduce the experimental total cross sect-
ion of natural hafnium, starting with the Haouat potential [4]
V0 = 46.82-0.3*En, Ws = 3.81+0.4*En (En<10), Vso = 6.2 (MeV)
7.81 (En>10)
a0 = 0.63, as = 0.52, aso = 0.47 (fm)
r0 = 1.24, rs = 1.24, rso = 1.12 (fm)
beta-2 = 0.273, beta-4 = 0.0.
The deformation parameter beta-2 was determined from the
measured E2 transition probability data [5]. The lowest three
levels belonging to the ground state rotational band were
coupled in the calculation. the spherical optical potential
for casthy calculation is the same as that of JENDL-2.
V0 = 38.0, Ws = 8.0+0.5*sqrt(En), Vso = 7.0 (MeV),
a0 = 0.47, as = 0.52 , aso = 0.47 (fm),
r0 = 1.32, rs = 1.32 , rso = 1.32 (fm).
Capture cross section was normalized to the measured data of
beer et al. [6] at 30 keV. Competing processes (n,2n), (n,3n),
(n,p), and (n,alpha) were calculated with gnash [7] and fed to
ecis-casthy calculation. The level fluctuation and interference
effects were considered. Level scheme was taken from table of
isotopes [8].

110 keV to 7.5 MeV.
* MT=16,17,103,107 : (n,2n), (n,3n), (n,p) and (n,alpha)
Calculated with gnash [7]. The transmission coefficients for
the incident channel were generated with ecis [2], while those
for the exit channels with eliese-3 [13]. The preequilibrium
parameter f2 was f2=5.0.
MF=4 => Angular distributions of secondary neutrons
* MT=2,51-66,91 : Calculated with ecis [2] and casthy [3].
* MT=16,17 : Isotropic in the laboratry system.
MF=5 => Energy distributions of secondary neutrons
* MT=16,17,91 : Calculated with gnash [7].
MF=12 => Photon multiplicities and transition probabilities
* MT=16,17,91,102,103,107
Calculated with gnash [7] 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 [14]
and the pygmy resonance whose parameter values were cited from
the neighbouring nucleus Ta [15].
eg1 = 15.23, eg2 = 12.3 , ep = 5.2 (MeV),
gg1 = 4.48, gg2 = 2.43, gp = 2.5 (MeV),
sig-pygmy/sig-gdr = 0.0245.
* MT=51-66 : Stored under option-2 (transition probability array)
Data were taken from [8].
MF=14 => Photon angular distributions
* MT=16,17,51-66,91,102,103,107 : Isotropic.
MF=15 => Continuous photon energy spectra
* MT=16,17,91,102,103,107 : Calculated with gnash [7].
