A revision of photon interaction data in the UKAEA nuclear data library

Creators

Description

Photon interaction data in the UKAEA Nuclear Data Library have been updated and extended to cover all elements up to Atomic Number 94. Cross-sections for the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, pair-production, and the total cross-section, are stored at 40 energy points in the range 0.01 MeV to 20 MeV. The angular distribution for Compton scattering is also included in the library. This report describes the derivation and accuracy of the data, and tabulates the cross-sections and angular distribution in the appendices. The preparation of multigroup cross-sections from the library's data is also discussed. (author)
