JENDL Photonuclear Data File

JENDL Photonuclear Data File 2004 was released in March 2004 and contains the photonuclear data for 68 nuclides from 2H to 237Np. We were proceeding on the evaluation work with the help of theoretical calculations based on statistical nuclear reaction models. The photonuclear cross sections that are to be contained in the file are as follows: photoabsorption cross sections, yield cross sections, and double‐differential cross sections for photoneutrons, photoprotons, photodeuterons, phototritons, photo‐3He‐particles and photoalpha‐particles, and isotope production cross sections. For the actinide nuclides, physical quantities related to photofission reactions are also included. The maximum energy of incident photons is 140 MeV, which is the energy at which the pion production channel opens.
