Fast-neutron-induced fission cross section of Pu(242) measured at the neutron time-of-flight facility nELBE

Kögler, Toni

This dataset includes the processed data of the fast neutron-induced fission of Pu(242) experiement performed in November 2014 at the neutron time-of-flight facility nELBE which was published in T. Kögler et al., Phys. Rev. C 99, 024604

It contains the absolute (Pu242_nfis_Koegler_2019.csv) and relative (Pu242_U235_nfis_Koegler_2019.csv) cross section data ranging from 0.5 MeV to 10 MeV. The cross section data is given in comma separated ASCII files, as well as in a MS Excel-Sheet.

The columns of the tables are defined as follows:

1. EN...neutron kinetic energy from the measured time of flight (ToF)
2. EN-ERR...uncertainty of neutron kinetic energy = 0.5*(ToF bin width) = 1 ns
3. DATA...cross section data
4. ERR-S...statistical uncertainty of the cross section data
5. ERR-SY...systematic uncertainty of the cross section data
6. ERR-T...combined standard uncertainty of the cross section data
7. ERR-0...relative uncertainty counting
8. ERR-1...relative uncertainty normalization
9. ERR-2...relative uncertainty reference cross section
10. ERR-3...relative uncertainty FF detection inefficiency
11. ERR-4...relative stat. uncertainty scattering correction H19
12. ERR-5...relative sys. uncertainty scattering correction H19
13. ERR-6...relative stat. uncertainty scattering correction PuFC
14. ERR-7...relative sys. uncertainty scattering correction PuFC

Additionally, a root (see https://root.cern.ch/) file is supplied, including the determined cross sections and all nessessary data to reconstruct the experiment. This includes the measured quantities, reference data, correction factors, evaluated cross sections etc.

To have the whole functionality of the root file, additional libary files (libGo4UserAnalysis.rootmap, libGo4UserAnalysis.so and libGo4UserAnalysis_rdict.pcm) are also given here.
