New nuclear data evaluations for Ca and Sc isotopes

2007 
New ENDF-6 formatted nuclear data libraries are presented for 40;42;43;44;46;48Ca and 45Sc, for incident neutrons and protons. Apart from the resonance range, which we have adopted from the best available source in existing libraries, the nuclear data evaluations are completely revised in the 0-20 MeV energy range, and, moreover, extend up to 200 MeV. This collection of isotopic evaluations is created by using the nuclear model code TALYS with a consistent set of input parameters for all isotopes. The most important nuclear reaction models needed for our data files are described. We have intended to make these evaluations complete in their description of reaction channels and use a consistent method to store the data in ENDF-6 format, which include cross sections, angular distributions, double-differential spectra, discrete and continuum photon production cross sections, and residual production (activation) cross sections including isomers. It is shown that the data present in our libraries give an improv...
