Bibliography of experimental
data
Five publications with experimental cross-section data were identified in
the literature for incident particle energies up to 120 MeV
and are represented with uncertainties in Fig. All data. The article by Steyn et al. (1991) contained two data sets represented as
(a) and (b) in the figure. The article by Kovacs et al. (1991) contained two
data sets, respectively measured on natural Kr targets and on enriched 82Kr
targets represented as (nat) and (enr)
in the figure. The data measured on enriched targets from Lamb et al. (1978) and
Kovacs et al. (1991)(enr) were
normalised and included in the evaluation up to 20 MeV. The data of 3 sets were rejected and not considered
for further analysis. The remaining four datasets of Refs.
were considered as input for a least-squares Pade fit. The Pade functions with
14 parameters were fitted to 78 selected data points with a χ2=0.99
covering the energy range up to 120 MeV as shown in Fig. Recommended. The uncertainties (including a 4% systematic uncertainty)
are 100% near the reaction threshold, but decrease steadily to below 10% from
20 MeV on.
