Comparison of the Thermal Neutron Scattering Cross Section of Water Based on ENDF/B-VIII.β and ENDF/B-VII.1

  • This work takes the traditional moderator material H2O for example, the differences between ENDF/B-VⅢ.β and ENDF/B-VⅡ.1 versions from the ENDF/B nuclear evaluated library are analyzed. In order to compare the thermal neutron scattering data between ENDF/B-VⅢ.β and ENDF/B-VⅡ.1 versions under the same temperature, the interpolation method is used to obtain the thermal neutron scattering data under arbitrary temperatures. There are some differences between ENDF/B-VⅢ.β and ENDF/B-VⅡ.1 versions, the thermal neutron scattering cross sections of H bound in H2O within ENDF/B-VⅢ.β is different with that of ENDF/B-VⅡ.1, the scattering angle cosines of the neutron and target nuclei from the two libraries are slightly smaller than zero in lower energy range within thermal range. Moreover, the second scattering energy spectrum from ENDF/B-VⅢ.β is slightly harder than that from the ENDF/B-VⅡ.1 in higher energy range within thermal range when the temperature is higher than room temperature.
