Neutron resonance integral analysis of 238U within resolved resonance region
Neutron resonance data are significant importance for applications in nuclear engineering. Aimed to assess the discrepancies efficiently between the experimental measurements and evaluations, including ENDF/B-VIII.1, JEFF-3.3, JENDL-5, CENDL-3.2 and BROND-3.1. A resonance peak identification technique based on derivative method and Gaussian Filter is established to conduct systematic analysis on two resonance properties (integral values and central energy) of the experimental and evaluated data within the resolved resonance region. The deviations of the two properties of 238U are analyzed in this work. More than 1500 resonance peaks of neutron total and capture reactions are identified below neutron energy 20 keV. As a result, the evaluated central energies of (n, tot) resonances exhibit excellent agreement with experimental data, while those of (n, ) resonances show increasing deviation with rising energy levels; significant deviations of resonance integrals exist between experimental and evaluated data of (n, ), and (n, tot) demonstrate a better consistency. The current work efficiently identifies the energy regions that require improvement in the future.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
