High-Energy Reference Fission Cross sections

The neutron induced fission cross sections at high energies are recognised as a convenient reference for other reaction cross sections measurement where already established standards are not available yet. The reference (n,f) cross sections were evaluated for the following 5 nuclei (detailed information is available in Report INDC(NDS)-0681 "209Bi and natPb neutron fission cross sections as new references and extensions of the 235U, 238U and 239Pu(n,f) standards up to 1 GeV", B. Marcinkevicius, S. Simakov and V. Pronyaev ).
The ENDF-6 file with cross sections, energy-energy correlations and cross-reaction correlations for 209Bi, natPb, 235U, 238U and 239Pu (n,f) is available here: High-En-Ref.endf

Neutron (n,n'γ) Cross-section References (2017/2019)

The reference discrete γ-ray production cross sections (n,n'γ) were evaluated for target nuclei 7Li (detailed information is available in Report INDC(NDS)-0739 by S. Simakov, R. Capote, R. Nelson and V. Pronyaev) and 48Ti (Report INDC(NDS)-0740 by S. Simakov, R. Capote, R. Nelson and V. Pronyaev). The numerical data in the various formats in energy ranges recommended for use are presented in the following Table.
