A basic evaluated neutronic data file for elemental scandium

Abstract

This report documents an e.valuated neutronic data file for elemental scandium, presented in the ENDF/B-VI format. This file should provide basic nuclear data essential for neutronic calculations involving elemental scandium. No equivalent file was previously available.

Fast-neutron scattering near shell closures: scandium

“…Indeed, when the r, database of [20] is extended to include the present scandium results, one obtains the values r , = 1.154 and r, = 0.4074fm. These are very similar to the results of [20] (1.1476 and 0.4416 fm, respectively), and are qualitatively consistent with the results reported long ago by Moldauer [31]. With the radial form of (4), it was shown in [20] that the systematic behaviour of the real SOM strength can be described by J, = K,[1 -.$(N -Z)/A](ro + r1/A''3)3 (5) where KO = 234.2MeV fm3 and 5 = 0.53.…”
