Abstract:This work serves as a proof of concept for an automated tool to assist in the evaluation of experimental neutron cross section data in the resolved resonance range. The resonance characterization problem is posed as a mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP). Since the number of resonances present is unknown, the model must be able to be determine the number of parameters to properly characterize the cross section curve as well as calculate the appropriate values for those parameters. Due to the size of the pro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
