Neutron- and proton-induced evaluated transport library up to 150 MeV

A new evaluated nuclear data library has been created. The library consists of two sub-libraries for neutron and proton incident particles. The neutron sub-library contains nuclear data for transport, heating and shielding applications for 242 nuclides with atomic numbers ranging from 8 to 82 in the energy region of primary neutrons from 10–5 eV to 150 MeV. Data below 20 MeV are taken mainly from ENDF/B-VI (revision 8) and for some nuclides, from the JENDL-3.3 and JEFF-3.0 libraries. The proton sub-library should contain data for the same range of target nuclides and energies. Proton-induced evaluated cross-section files are available for 15 nuclides at the moment. The evaluation of emitted particle energy and angular distributions at energies above 20 MeV (for incident neutrons) and above the reaction threshold (for incident protons) was performed with the help of the ALICE/ASH code and the analysis of available experimental data. The total cross-sections, elastic cross-sections and elastic scattering angular distributions were calculated with the help of the coupled channel model. The results of the calculation were adjusted to the data from ENDF/B-VI, JENDL-3.3, or JEFF-3.0 at the neutron energy equal to 20 MeV. The library is written in ENDF-6 format using the MF=3/MT=5 and MF=6/MT=5 representations.
