Experiments for validation of TSL evaluations [Slides]
There is a recent revival of thermal scattering evaluation capabilities and there are many new evaluations available in ENDF-8.0 and elsewhere. This creates a need for experimental validation other than criticality benchmarks. Thermal scattering libraries (TSL) provide information to describe the double differential thermal scattering at different moderator temperatures. For moderators, the biggest effect of TSL is the thermal scattering cross section.
