EGAF: Measurement and Analysis of Gamma-ray Cross Sections
The Evaluated Gamma-ray Activation File (EGAF) is the result of a 2000–2007 IAEA Coordinated Research Project to develop a database of thermal, prompt γ -ray cross sections, σγσγ, for all elemental and selected radioactive targets. No previous database of this kind had existed. EGAF was originally...

The Evaluated Gamma-ray Activation File (EGAF) is the result of a 2000–2007 IAEA Coordinated Research Project to develop a database of thermal, prompt γ -ray cross sections, σγσγ, for all elemental and selected radioactive targets. No previous database of this kind had existed. EGAF was originally based on measurements using guided neutron beams from the Budapest Reactor on all elemental targets from Z=1–82, 90 and 92, except for He and Pm. The EGAF σγσγ data were published in the Database of Prompt Gamma Rays from Slow Neutron Capture for Elemental Analysis [1]. An international collaboration has formed to continue the EGAF measurements with isotopically enriched targets, derive total radiative thermal neutron cross sections, σ0σ0, extend the σγσγ data from thermal to 20 MeV neutrons, compile a completed activation data file, improve sections of the Reference Input Parameter Library (RIPL) with more complete and up to date level and γ-ray data, evaluate statistical γ -ray data from reaction studies, and determine recommended neutron separations energies, Snn, for atomic mass evaluations. A new guided neutron beam facility has become available at the Garching (Munich) FRM II Reactor, and high energy neutron experimental facilities are being developed by a Berkeley area collaboration where 5–33 MeV neutron beams are available at the LBNL 88” cyclotron, 2.5 and 14 MeV beams at the University of California, Berkeley neutron generator laboratory, and high flux, 1027–331027–33 n⋅cmView the MathML source⋅−2 s−1−1, neutron pulses available from the LLNL National Ignition Facility (NIF). |
