Use of Covariance Data to Select Experiments Relevant to Target Systems for GNEP

The relevance of selected experiments to specific GNEP target systems is investigated with the use of representativity methods. In this approach, the similarity between the target system and selected experiments in connection with a response parameter of interest is quantitatively evaluated by comparing the sensitivity profiles of the response parameter with respect to the nuclear data in the two systems, filtered by the estimated covariance data.
