JAERI's activities on photon production data

Summarized are activities on photon production data at JAERI. The activities consists of evaluation of photon production data for JENDL Fusion File, benchmark tests of JENDL and FENDL-1 data, and calculation of photon production data in the framework of the Quantum Molecular Dynamics. The capture cross sections of 12C and 16O were evaluated for JENDL Fusion File by taking account of the direct radiative capture calculations obtained by A. Mengoni (ENEA). The presently evaluated data are in good agreement with the measurements of Igashira et al. in the keV region, describing the behaviour of p-wave capture which is in proportion to υ. Photon production data on Fe and Ni were updated for JENDL Fusion File by using a statistical-model calculations. According to the results of benchmark tests, the calculations with the updated data reproduce the integral measurements on gamma-ray heating. Benchmark tests of evaluated photon production data have been continued by analyzing the integral experimental performed at OKTAVIAN and FNS. The calculations with JENDL Fusion File are in good agreement with the integral measurements. Preliminary calculation of photon production data in the high energy region has been done in the framework of the Quantum Molecular Dynamics approach. The quasi-deuteron model was used to describe photon absorption in the low energy region. Above pion production threshold, pion production channels were included in the calculation. The neutron-proton bremsstrahlung obtained with the one-boson-exchange model was incorporated into QMD codes. (Abstract only)
