Criteria for the selection of dosimetry cross sections

Griffin, Patrick J.; Griffin, Patrick J.

This paper defines a process for selecting dosimetry-quality cross sections. The recommended cross-section evaluation depends on screening high-quality evaluations with quantified uncertainties, down-selecting based on comparison to experiments in standard neutron fields, and consistency checking in reference neutron fields. This procedure is illustrated for the {sup 23}Na(n,{gamma}){sup 24}Na reaction.
