JENDL photonuclear data file 2016

Nuclear reactions of gamma-rays with materials have attracted much attention in various application fields. To allow the use in those fields, JENDL photonuclear data file was updated from former JENDL/PD-2004 and was opened as JENDL/PD-2016 in 2017. The nuclear data were revised by adopting resonance analysis-like method for light nuclides and applying nuclear reaction models to the evaluations for heavier nuclides. In JENDL/PD-2016, standard and expanded versions are provided up to an incident energy of 140 MeV, covering 181 and 2681 nuclides, respectively. The evaluated results show better reproducibility to measured data, relative to JENDL/PD-2004. JENDL/PD-2016 is freely available from a website. (author)
