Calculation of probability table parameters to include intermediate resonance self-shielding

In order to demonstrate the practicality of the multi-band method [Cullen, Nucl. Sc. Eng., 55, 387 (1974)] as applied to all energy ranges, it is demonstrated that intermediate resonance effects may be included; usually only two or three, and at most four, bands are required in any cross section probability table; and a low-order rational approximation is an excellent means of defining Bonderenko sigma0 self-shielded cross sections. 1 table
