R-Matrix Analysis of the Total and Inelastic Scattering Cross Section of 23Na

摘要

Resonance parameters characterizing the interaction of neutrons with 23Na in the energy range from 0.3 to 2 MeV were obtained. These parameters describe the total and inelastic cross section. They were obtained from an analysis of data reported by Märten et al. for inelastic and elastic scattering and by D.C. Larson et al. for the total cross section. The data analysis and deduced resonance parameters are presented in some detail. This report serves to clarify the resonance parameters delivered to CEA/Cadarache.
