R-Matrix Analysis of the Neutron-Induced Cross Sections on 143 Nd Measured at LANSC [Slides]
An established use of R-Matrix codes is being implemented at LANSCE. There are unique features accessible with detectors at LANSCE that can be used to perform more complete R-Matrix analysis. Further, Spin separation is a powerful technique that can be applied in DANCE measurements. Additionally, a unique method to measure transmission with DICER is being undertaken. Transmission and capture data were analyzed in this work. The study can be extended to other channels. The results of the 143 Nd data are presented in this work. New resonances found in this work: 21 compared to ENDF/B-VIII.0 and JEFF-3.3, and 24 compared to JENDL-5. Wrong spin assignment in 23 resonances in ENDF/B-VIII.0, 25 in JEFF-3.3 and 26 in JENDL-5. The 143 Nd and 147,149 Sm have been analyzed. Exciting future for new measurements and analysis!
